@judsons That's too bad, I thought that with the love he had for this music possible he was in a group or singer. Anyhow he did great things for the genre.

I couldn't agree with you more.
All members were very talented, so it made it easier for Jack and Ronnie to work with.
Thanks for appreciating this masterpiece!

Fantastic!
It seems the late great Jack Scandora brought out the best of everyone he sang with.

@allaboutrecords Jack definitely was the glue that held them together musically. He arranged and charted much of the music. But let's not forget the Svengali of this group, the great Ronnie I. Whoever took a lead vocal was supported by the best background singers in northern (and anywhere else) New Jersey.

@judsons I always wondered, Did Ronnie I ever sing? Was he ever in a group or just support this music?

@crazyromanian1 Ronnie Italiano was a lover of group harmony. He owned Clifton Records store in Clifton, NJ (wife, Sandee still runs it). He put on some shows, produced some albums and continued to put all his effort into both (with both growing in numbers as the years went on). He did not sing, but did act as MC of many shows. Can't say he made a mint from all of this, as he did it for the love of music. And with that, we all gained.

The Cliftonaires are the supreme DooWop group in New Jersey. What harmony!!!!! Ronnie I should send these guys out on a nation wide tour for all to hear.
