Take a look at Uptown's members from
the early days of Rock
& Roll.
All the Uptown members have extensive roots in
those magical, early days. No amateurs on this stage.
See if you can guess who's who in the pictures.
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 Joisey (New Jersey) Gotta love those Jersey boys!
How about it- - - can you spot Tony?

Late 1958 - Young Italian guys from New York
OWNED Doo Wop,the '59 Caddy had just
hit the showrooms,and the VELVETEENS
were DooWoppin' !
Doesn't this bring back memories of the 50's?
Remember your mother telling you to stay away from guys like this?
No? Well,she should have.
Can you spot the future Godfather of DooWop?
Tommy has since traded the Caddy for a Corvette but still has the same
fantastic vocal abilities.
Tommy with the Enchantments -
Late 1960's
The Saints from New York,now relocated to Florida and still rockin'
the Tampa area!This was the Blues Brothers segment of their show.Ron is easy to find,even without his guitar.
