Guest co-host HENRY FARAG of vocal group STORMY WEATHER joined host Tom Lounges in chatting with some legendary pioneers of rock 'n' roll's doo-wop era!
Tunes were played from the solid gold catalogs of The Drifters, The Skyliners, The Spaniels, The Vogues, and The Cookies, who were among the artists performing at Canterbury Productions' "Ultimate Doo-Wop Show" on Friday, October 20th at Merrillville's Star Plaza Theatre. The 10 legendary groups appearing on Star Plaza's stage for that concert, have collectively sold over 200 million records.
This show is dedicated to the memory of The Skyliners' founder and lead vocalist JIMMY BEAUMONT, who was to have been a guest on this program, only he passed away unexpectedly at his home just ten days prior, on October 7, 2017. Beaumont was 76 years old.
