My Take on the CD
Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to rock.
You will not be able to listen to this CD without moving and you will not be disappointed in it.
The Hit Men: Lee Shapero, Don Ciccone, Larry Gates, Gerry Polici, Jimmy Ryan, and Russ Velazuez whose friendship has spanned over 50 years have put together a tour of the United States and this CD. They have been involved over the years with such sensations as the Four Seasons, Tommy James and the Shondells, The Critters, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce and others.
The CD includes popular songs such as: Rag Doll, Oh What a Night, Sherry, Grease, Younger Girl, Peace Train, Bad Leroy Brown and more.
These talented singers are also the instrumentalists behind the music.
It was such a pleasure to review this CD. I just wish one of the tour stops was at the Wharton Theater, on the MSU campus, in Lansing Michigan. I would be the first one in line for a ticket.
