They were awesome In person, especially when they had their band with the full horn section. You couldn't believe what you were hearing. At the time of this video, Joe Bobadilla, the lead on their recording of "I Can't Leave You" could still sing his ass off, and the first tenor, who was not in the original recording version of the group, was mind boggling, as you can hear on this song when he takes the second lead. I forget his name, (Ivan, maybe?). When he would do the lead of The Artistics' "I'm Gonna Miss You" you swore he was as good as Marvin Smith, The Artistics lead. George Lavatelli, the lead of The Bonaires, told me about the group originally. He said he couldn't believe how good they were. What more of a testimonial do you need?
@@frogmanvc I saw Ray Murphy, one of the members, at a funeral about four years ago, and he said the group had disbanded. I know Jerry Utter the bass passed away within the last couple of years.
Joey Bobadella where the hell are you are you still out here with the local 98 Philly PA electricians me and Art wondering where you are hope you’re OK kid
Yo Guess who's on the PIANO? non other than the GREAT "David Forman" this was just before he got together with Johnny Gale and put that BAD ASS Group..LiL ISIDORE and The Inquistadors..
