Biography :
In their repertoire when touring, the three Chuckles, who knew Del Serino, sang "Runaround".
"Runaround" became a huge hit and was eventually purchased by RCA from Serino.
RCA then signed Serino as a staff writer for their regent label; here he wrote "Foolishly".
Because Serino sang and performed his demo so well, he was asked to form his own group to sing some of his tunes.
The Group was eventually heard by Jack Hook and Teddy Reig of Royal Roost Records, who signed them and changed Serino's name to "Cirino" and had him record "Rosemarie".
They recorded four singles in 1955-56 for Royal Roost Records and are present in the 1955 movie ROCK,ROCK,ROCK!.
The Bowties had some success, appearing with Alan Freed, Ed Sullivan and Jack Paar. They Broke up soon after their sudden success.
