Biography :

The group met by chance in a bowling alley one Saturday evening in 1960. Tom Caterino was with another group and they stopped to harmonize in the doorway, and 2 guys entered and stopped to listen, they struck up a conversation and so began a new group. This was in late 1960 in the South Bronx on Westchester Ave near Whitlock Ave. Lou Pesce, the 'original' first tenor when the group formed in 1960 was later replaced by Neftali Lamort on "Where is She" in 1961.

Biography :

The Blue Jays' first single "Lovers Island," seemed almost like a throwback to an earlier time in vocal group music.It charted in the pop Top 40 at number 31 and performed well on the local L.A. R&B charts — it served as a beautiful swan song for the doo wop era. The group followed their hit with singles like "Tears Are Falling" (1961) and "The Right to Love" (1962), but nothing came of them and the group change their name to 'the Values' and recorded "Return To Me" b/w "That's The Way" on the Invicta label. The group broke up in early 1962. Leon Peels later recorded a number of singles — including "On a Magic Island" — for Whirlybird Records, backed by the Hi-Tensions.
