Biography :

In 1961, Lenny coco & The Chimes entered a local studio to cut a demo in 1960; a recording engineer called Andy Leonetti, who hustled down and signed the newcomers to his fledgling Tag label. Leonetti pressed up the ballad under the slightly off-kilter title of "Once In Awhile" that autumn. The Chimes' debut single soared to #11 pop in early '61. The group would not find success with their following albums, and split up in the middle of the decade. Andy Leonetti did not give up and in 1964 signed another Brooklyn group on his Musicnote label. He calls them The Chimes with a different spelling, The Chymes. Composed by Gil Pabon, Larry Gerona, Ray Diaz and Carmine Scibelli , the group recorded "If I Give My Heart To You" b/w "On The Street Where You Live" followed by "The Gypsy" and "Now Look At Who's Crying" some time later as the Four Chymes. After one member left, Andy Leonetti released on his Crossway label "Tears And Pain" and "Show Me The Way" as the Three Chimes.
