Paul Kasofsky 845-292-5126 [email protected] SONGS FOR LOVERS Offers Timeless Soundtrack for Romance Awareness Month NEW YORK, NY (August, 2016) – August may be the month for vacations, but it’s also Romance Awareness Month— perfect timing for SONGS FOR LOVERS, the latest album from Doo Wop legend Larry Chance and The Earls and Steve Michaels , the accomplished lead singer best known for his work with the Velvatones, who grew up idolizing the '60s icons. Joining forces to select and perform classic love songs that resonate with their cross- generational fan base, Chance and Michaels cover the power and nuances of romance with their timeless style and nods to the decades of love-driven music that audiences have cherished. The two Bronx-based singers have collaborated in the past, but this project brings even more positive messages to the mix. Michaels couldn’t be more thrilled about SONGS FOR LOVERS. “It’s not every day that you get to do a CD with your idol…I was that kid that used to turn on the radio and listen to all those hit records that Larry and the Earls had. It’s almost like a dream come true to get to work with one of your idols years later.” The music of Larry Chance and the Earls (Remember Then) was an influential force in Michaels’ life and would help inspire his successful 1986 release of his version of the Del-Vikings’ classic ‘Come Go With Me’. Chance is flattered to be one of Michaels’ mentors and credits the singer with putting SONGS FOR LOVERS on their project ‘To Do’ list. “It’s nice, soft music for lovers,” says the artist who considers himself a romantic at heart. You can also expect to hear many of the tracks (Born To Be In Love, I Cross My Heart, If, Lady) during their onstage performances. Of course Chance, who personifies the street corner music phenomenon of the rock and roll era, knows a thing or two about what audiences are looking for in romantic music. He predicted the staying power of Doo Wop music decades ago and continued to stay loyal to and build upon an astounding fan base. “A lot of the guys left the business…I never stopped I just continued on all these years.” Michaels believes the magic of SONGS FOR LOVERS lies in its relatability. “The album is extremely powerful because it reaches such a wide and global audience— from 20 to 80 and beyond.” Longtime manager Paul Kasofsky agrees “It’s a love letter to the fans and it’s done with a lot of heart and a lot of love.” CHECK THIS (not online yet)!!!!! SONGS FOR LOVERS is now available on iTunes, Amazon , and at LarryChanceAndTheEarls.com/Store SONGS FOR LOVERS Track Listing 1. Born To Be In Love 2. I Cross My Heart 3. For Your Precious Love 4.

  • Larry Chance & the Earls Provide Crowd-Pleasing Doo-Wop Harmony
    Larry Chance & The Earls provide crowd-pleasing doo-wop harmony Bill Herald Oldies Pop Music Examiner REVIEWED: Larry Chance and The Earls DATE: February 16, 2012 VENUE: Broadway Palm Dinner Theater, Fort Myers, Fla. When Larry Chance & The Earls took the stage, a sellout dinner-theater crowd soon found that "E" represented both the group's name and Entertainment with a capital E. The program featured a steady stream of flawless harmony, stage presence and crowd-pleasing vitality, reflecting Larry's comedic talents and obvious devotion to his fans. The show opened with one of The Earls' first recordings, an excellent doo-wop rendition of "Life Is But A Dream" from 1961. The group demonstrated its versatility on two numbers, the first being "Never", the follow-up to its most-recognized hit "Remember Then." And after a rendition of "Never" that sounded much like the 1963 recording, The Earls sang the same song in a slow, effective ballad style approximating the tempo of The Classics' 1963 version of "Till Then." The versatility came to the forefront when the group performed the Ritchie Valens classic song "Donna." For that number, Chance became drummer while percussionist Bobby Tribuzio handled keyboards. Meanwhile, keyboardist Vitto Garcia switched to guitar and Chuck Mearizo became lead vocalist. Audience interaction was prominent throughout. Chance chose two crowd members to come onstage to sing backup on "Don't You Just Know It." On subsequent numbers -- "Banana Boat (Day-O)" and the Lloyd Price classic "Personality" -- he had the crowd hand-clapping and repeating some of the lyrics. Four theatergoers were summoned as backup singers on "Charlie Brown" after which Chance strolled among the dinner tables, giving high-5s to fans and selecting random individuals sing the phrase "Why's everybody always picking on me?" When presenting a pair of Tom Jones' hits -- "It's Not Unusual" and "I (Who Have Nothing)" -- Larry delivered powerful vocals and likely sang those songs as well as anyone except, perhaps, Jones himself.

    Reprinted with permission from Echoes 0f the Past, Issue No. 122, Winter 2017 “Joel Katz” “The Voice Of Jersey Doo Wop” Part 1: The 1960’s By Charlie Horner With contributions from Pamela Horner When writing about someone in the en- tertainment field, it’s become a cliché to say that someone has “done it all”. But never has this been more true than when writing about the music career of Joel Katz. As a singer, Joel has sung for more than fifty years, leading and re- cording with such doo wop groups as the Joel & the Connotations, the Autumns, Joel & the Con- chords, Joel & the Rondells, the Platinums, the Wizards, Twilight, the Cliftonaires, Joel & the Blue Stars, Joel & the Dymensions, the Glows, Autumn Spectrum, Santa’s Doo Wop Helpers and Joel & the Dynamics. At other times, he’s sung with established groups like the Emotions, the Five Discs, Brooklyn Bridge, the Impalas, the Ad Libs and many others. On CD, he’s backed Aaron Neville, Gene Pitt, Gloria Gainor, George Kerr and countless others. But Joel’s talents don’t stop there. He builds and repairs recording studios and equipment; owns and operates a recording studio; and arranges, mix- es, and engineers recordings. Over the years, Joel has owned the record labels of many of his groups’ recordings. Being a record collector, he wisely knew to press all of his records in ex- tremely limited amounts in colored vinyl be- Joel Katz, 2017 sides the commonly distributed black vinyl copies.

    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.
