As for the info on this Gem, thanks!! Also, someone needs to help Wikipedia keep up, they have nothing on this group!!

@1royalpalm There were a lot of teeny weeny labels around and the Baltimore-DC area was full of them. If a group from that area wanted to make it big you went to New York or talked to people like Lillian Claiborne or Waxie Maxie.

PJ DooWop: Jerry's real name is Carrasik . The Tony and the Raindrops group was Tony Acchione, Al Baron, Mark Gordesky, Jerry Carrasick and me (Ken). I'd like to find Baron, since I have been in California for 40 years...what part of CA he lives in may turn up here or somewhere.

If you go through the comments below you'll find Mark Stevens' comment about Baron. I'm guessing they still talk. You'll probably want to speak to him
