Some pix of the group members from
their early days of
Rock & Roll.
All the Uptown members have EXTENSIVE roots from
those magic early days. No amateurs on this stage.
See if you can guess who's who
(remember,they had a lot more hair and a lot less of a waisteline back then)
Check out the picture below.See if you can tell which
one is Rick. Here's a hint-he played sax with this group rather than keyboards.
This picture of The Cameos was taken in 1959,or 1960
(Tony is getting old,and can't remember where or when),but he's sure it was somewhere in Jersey.
How about it- - - do you see Tony in this one?
