If memory serves, the DeFranco's emerged on the 'mainstream' in the late summer/fall of 1972--just when AM bubblegum really starting to fade. I remember them being kind of a flash in the pan...Osmond-ish just with better hair and of course, chicks. I understand "little Tony" grew up to be a very successfuyl California realtor. Hope he still has his hair. The kid had great hair.
did the DeFranco's ever appear on the Jimmy Durranty(SP) show I thought that's when I 1st saw him. I also think Tony and Donny never got along with each other and were jealous of each other
I love this song. I had a big crush on him in the day. he has family in 2 towns over from where i grew up at. when i went to that town i was hoping to run into him.
It's so funny looking remembering how back then Tiger Beat created fake controversies when they decided to replace one superstar with someone else. It went from David Cassidy to Donny Osmond to Tony DeFranco. The drama was egged on by the former main cover star being reduced to a small photo on the bottom. We were so easily manipulated back then.
This is better than anything from 2012!!

Woke up with this song on my mind and no clue why I was even thinking of it. So of course, I had to 'youtube' it. Thanks for the posting. cx
