Muziq For Everyone says

"This group who had originated in 1957 still has the talent as they always have. With their # 10 billboard record (Pardon My heart & Darling Can't You Tell), The Clusters are a band that makes everyone who enjoys the classic genre of Doo Wop along with Acappella close their eyes and place themselves in each and every skit their songs represent. looking forward to this talented group of men to keep on making new records"

Hi Paulie,  Yes I did receive your CD.

Thank you, I will be playing it on my

shows and I will let people know that you guys are currently performing and how to get your CD.  I especially like the fact that you guys keep true to the old sound.

You are a great lead and it's nice to

hear Joe Gugliotta still sounding so good.

THE OFFICIAL UGHA VOCAL GROUPS TOP 500

The survey was tabulated from votes from UGHA members who were asked to list their top ten favorite recordings. This was not an easy task with so many great vocal group harmony releases from the late 40's through the 50's and into the early 60's. The next survey (in the year 2000) will have members vote for their favorite 20, perhaps making their decisions easier.

This survey was tabulated by UGHA member, Rich Kriz, an enourmous undertaking. Rich set up a computerized point system with a ballot's #1 pick getting 100 points and working down to 10 points for #10. The #1 recording, "Golden Teardrops" by the Flamingos finished with 3,175 points, an overwhelming total as compared to #2, "My Reverie" by the Larks with 1,750. The 500th choice "The Bells Ring Out" by the Spaniels had 25 points.

The purpose of this Top 500 survey was to revive the interest of our membership regarding the classic recordings of our musical culture. And is now to serve as a credibility factor in attracting new members.

Our special thanks to Rich Kriz for his many hours of dedication to this project.

THE CLUSTERS FRENCH REVIEW

TRANSLATION

This US doo-wop group formed in 1957 by Charlie Scardina, Tommy Mordente, Donnie Milo, Henrey Ferro and Joe Gugliotta in Brooklyn, New York City had a hit in April 58 with Darling Can't You Tell, No 10 on the Billboard. The group re-formed in the 90's with new members, then in 2003 with Paulie Gee, Joe Morelli, Alex Augustine, jerry DelGiorno, George Granaroli and Joe Gugliotta, the only original Cluster left. The members names show it's Italo-doo-wop they perform like that of Dion & Belmonts for instance whose Runaround Sue they cover here. They also cover Danny & Juniors Rock & Roll is here to stay and At The Hop, among others. I prefer their acappella CD: it's on such stuff that their vocal harmonies give their best.

TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH

Those two albums from this US doo-wop from New York will please fans of italo-doo-wop (Dion & Belmonts style to give you an idea) a lot, with lots of superb ballads. If I had to sort one out, I'd pick up the acapella one, for it's on this type of tracks without backing that their tight vocal harmonies give their full measure

COOL BOBBY B OF XM RADIO'S 50'S SHOW SAYS" THE NEW CD ROCKS. WILL BE PLAYING IT SOON ON THE AIR"
