It was perhaps 3 years ago while surfing You Tube that I came across Kenny and the Planotones. As a child of the 50's and loving the music then and now, I can only join the many others who appreciate his style and voice. The group is super!
Lyrics At Erasmus Hall High School, we used to harmonize Me and Benny and Aaron and two Italian guys We were singing oldies, but they were newies then And today when I play my old 45's, I remember when We'd practice in a subway, in a lobby or a hall Crowded in a doorway, singing doo wops to the wall And if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom, and nobody could get in 'Cause we were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound A place to be in harmony A place we almost found And the girls would gather 'round us, and our heads would really swell We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones, and the Dells And when we sang "Sincerely," we really sang it high Even though it was falsetto, we almost reached the sky We've sung a lot of changes since 1955 And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonize Now we've turned into oldies, but we were newies then And today when I play my old 45's, I remember when We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound A place to be in harmony A place we almost found

Legendary group and song! Had the pleasure of seeing them live in Pittsburgh in October 2019. Great show! Love Johnny Gale's strumming. One of the best.
his love and respect for the music, performers and our generation is unmatched----saw him live in Peekskill ny several years ago---unfortunely did not get to see him at Johnny Maestros farewell show
