The Mystics Press Kit 2019 Page 6 Of 8 Presenting The Mystics GEORGE GALFO – Original Member George Galfo, has been the driving force of The Mystics for several years. His career started in the music and entertainment industry in 1958 as a member of The Overons, the group that evolved into The Mystics. As The Mystics original second tenor, George is heard on all the group’s Laurie Records releases as well as several unreleased demos that are highly regarded by collectors. George appeared with the group on several TV shows in the 1950’s and 1960’s including the Clay Cole Show, Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, Alan Freed’s Big Beat Show and Jim Gallant’s Bandstand in Connecticut. Stage highlights of the day included Alan Freed Stage Show at the Brooklyn Fox, the Cavalcade of Stars tour run by the Legendary General Artists Corporation and Palisades Park appearances hosted by “Cousin Brucie” Morrow. Aside from their own hit records, George and the group provided vocal back-up for several other artists, including Connie Francis on her 1959 release “Tommy”. George led his own Mystics group in 2002, emerging as a charismatic lead singer, in his own right. In 2011, Phil Cracolici, George’s uncle was the group’s original lead singer, who joined forces with George and his group to carry on the torch. The Mystics legacy continues on through the 21st century. George Galfo was inducted into the Doo Wop Music Hall of Fame on March 14, 2015! PHIL CRACOLICI – Original Member Phil Cracolici, started his singing career in 1956 with friends and soon after, formed The Overons with his brother Albee and his nephew George Galfo. The Overons later evolved into The Mystics. Phil is the original lead singer of the group’s mega seller 1959 International and National Hit “HUSHABYE”, as well as their highly-regarded follow-up “Don’t Take The Stars”….Prior to joining his nephew George in 2011, Phil was with the Brooklyn Reunion (along with the Classics and The Passions) performing throughout the New York area and on PBS-TV specials. Phil Cracolici was inducted into the Doo Wop Music Hall of Fame on March 14, 2015! The Mystics Press Kit 2019 Page 7 Of 8 Presenting The Mystics ROCKY MARSICANO Rocky Marsicano, began his singing career at an early age. His love of singing started in grammar school by joining a glee club and in the late 1950’s he found himself harmonizing with the guys on the street corners. In a short time Rocky, along with Joe Fatone, formed a neighborhood group called “The Onions” that performed locally well into the 1970’s. In the later 1970’s Rocky became a member, first tenor and recording artist with “The Rifts”. In 1985 Rocky was invited to become a member of “Lenny Cocco and The Chimes”, a relationship that lasted over twenty-three years while performing all over the country as first tenor, lead and recording artist on two Cd’s. In 2002 Rocky performed for several months with “Jay Siegel” and “The Tokens”, later returning back to “Lenny Cocco and The Chimes”. From early 2008 until late 2011 Rocky performed with “The Manhattan Skyline”. Rocky Marsicano now resides in Florida and has proudly become a member of the group he has always admired, “The Mystics”. RALPH VARRONE Ralph Varrone, started his singing career on the street corners of Flushing - Jamaica, New York in 1959. He joined the “El Jays” in 1962 and recorded with them in 1963 on the CB Label. Ralph stopped singing for twenty years after that recording. He made his return to the Doo Wop circuit in the 1980’s. Ralph was the lead singer for the New York based acappella group “The Traditions” from 1984 to 1986. He went on to join “Risky Business” the premiere Oldies Band on Long Island for twenty-six years. From 1986 to 2012, he was their lead singer and the band leader. After moving to Florida he continued to perform in a retirement community, in Kissimmee, Florida before he joined “The Mystics” in May 2018.

  • <I>Malt Shop Memories</I>
    names, Vol. 57 No. 3, September, 2009, 162–174 Selling Decency and Innocence: Names of Singing Groups in the Malt Shop Memories Collection Margaret G Lee Hampton University, USA This study examines the names of sixty-fi ve male and female singing groups in the Malt Shop Memories collection and their economic, social, and cultural infl uences. Record companies’ efforts to sell the emerging rock’n’roll to teenagers of mid-1950s to mid-1960s affl uent America resulted in group names intended to reduce the negative attitudes toward the music. Non-threatening group names were designed to exude images of whole- someness and purity to appease parents and the public who regarded rock’n’roll as chaotic, vulgar, and the cause of America’s social ills. These names, refl ecting such ordinary categories as Birds and Animals, Place Names, Mystique and Wonder, and more, combined with a mandated dress code to sell an image of decency and innocence in the face of a rebellious new style of music. keywords Malt Shop group names, Rock’n’roll group names, Doo-wop group names, 1950s-60s singing groups, Rock music group names, Girl group names, Vocal group names Introduction and background Malt Shop Memories is a Time Life, 150-song, ten-CD collection of oldies classics by the original artists. Released in 2006, the collection encompasses the period, as described in its television advertisement, “between the birth of rock ‘n’ roll in the mid-50’s to the British Invasion of the mid-60’s [. .] when American pop music took the world by storm.” This was one of the most innovative and dynamic periods in America’s music history.
