Many Great Groups With Many Great Songs!!!
It's truly amazing how many great groups came out of the late 50s through the mid 60s. Yet, so many of them played an important role in making the music that made the world turn 'round! No, The Beatles were just ripe for the time--and I really think America's dj's were caught up in the Beetlemania that swept The States in the early 6os. It was just timing, because if The Beatles didn't happen, someone else would. Could this thing we called "DOOWOP' go on forever? To all the baby boomers out there--we probably wish it would have. It was an easier time-most of us were in school, still under the roofs of our parents with not a worry in the world--except if you were a guy of draft age! I loved the era. Songs that had real meaning, tied together with distinct melodies and lyrics. The songs told a story, usually about a guy's love for his girl and a girl for her guy. The winds of change swept us away, the music died, and today, all we have are the memories of our GOLDEN YEARS-our Teenage Years. For those years, were truly the greatest.

Alan Freed coined the phrase "Rock and Roll" for the music that could be heard on every car and transistor radio during the "fabulous fifties". The inception of "Rock and Roll" brought with it hope for many teenagers who had a dream of becoming the next Frankie Lymon or Dion.

While the parks in Brooklyn were filled with those trying to emulate "Willie, Mickey and the Duke", in Bensonhurst you could hear a group of teenagers who called themselves The Overons singing on the street corners all night long. Because they were too many in number, three groups emerged: The Mystics, The Passions and The Classics.

The three groups were bonded by friendship and a promise of lasting unity. In 1959, The Mystics were the first group to receive a record contract and went on to record their million selling hit "Hushabye". True to their promise, the Mystics introduced The Passions to their manager, Jim Gribble. The Passions' first record "Just To Be With You" went right to the top of the charts. It was another million seller for these Brooklyn friends. Could lightning strike a third time? Well, once again The Mystics and The Passions honored their promise by having an audition set up for The Classics. The Classics recorded "Till Then" and it zoomed to the top of the charts, and another million records were sold. Lightning did strike three times for these young Brooklyn friends.

Over the past forty years the three groups have remained close friends, often working in each others groups. In 1989, the three groups were asked to perform their 30 Year Reunion at Radio City Music Hall. The show received a fabulous response and since then they have continued to perform The Brooklyn Reunion Show to rave reviews.

The Reunion Show consists of each group performing selected material and highlights from their individual shows. They then join each other as one group, sharing their experiences and songs with the audience. The show is sprinkled with the type of humor that can only come from lifelong friendships. They close with a heartwarming finale and leave the stage with the audience standing, cheering and dancing in the aisles.
