The Doo Wop Project Hearkens Back to Classic Sounds Like Frankie Valli, Drifters, Del Vikings

Our professor of Doo Wop, Alan David Stein, had a chance to it down with Dominic Nolfi, one of the members of the group prior to their tour date in NJ, at UCPAC in Rahway NJ on Friday, May 10th at 8 pm.

You might recognize Dominic because he has had parts as an original cast member of Jersey Boys, Dominic Nolfi covered three of the Four Seasons before being promoted to the leading role of bad boy Tommy DeVito.

The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning, tracing the start of group singing developed by inner-city African Americans performing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. Audiences will take you on a journey from foundational tunes of groups like the Crests, Belmont’s and Flamingos, to the sounds of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons, plus a whole lot more.

Tickets are still available for the UCPAC concert on Friday, May 10^th  all you need to do is click right here!

It promises to be an unforgettable event.

MORE DOO WOP WITH ALAN DAVID

Classic cars from the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's were on display at the Lead East Classic Car Show in Parsippany New Jersey over the Labor Day weekend. The annual event which celebrated it's 40th anniversary this year took place in front of large crowds from August 31 through September 3.  Residents of all ages came out to bask in the glow of the weekend, take in the cars of yesteryear, and listen to classic olides.

Speaking of Classic Oldies, WMTR 1250 AM was out there on Friday night with Alan David Stein's Doop Wop show. On Saturday, we took a tour of the parking lot that was full of cars from the past.
