Made In America, who hailed from Orange County, CA, wrote and performed several original tunes including their all time classic, 'Pizza Boy'. This smash hit, easily recognized by the pulsating sound effect intro, became Made In America's signature anthem. No concert was complete without at least one rousing rendition of this foot stomping rocker.
Although not in the same league as McCartney-Lennon, the talented Dalessio-Stush song crafting duet was just coming into its own before the trio disbanded.
As might be expected, when talent of this magnitude combined with increasingly raucous crowds, the results could be unpredictable. It was not unusual for droves of delirious fans to rush the stage in an effort to catch a brief glimpse of their neighborhood's coolest pizza dudes. Sadly, it has been rumored that these same crowd control issues and safety concerns were behind the band's premature retirement.
Other Made In America originals included 'Tight, Tight, Tight', 'Way Back', 'Just Can't Take It', 'More Than Enough', 'What Have I Done?' and 'Rainy Day in '79'.
Speculation continues as to whether the immensely popular, yet enigmatic trio, will ever reunite. To date, the many attempts to lure them out of retirement have gone unanswered.
