Biography :

Group from Brooklyn (New York)., the episodes consisted of Irwin Schlass (Lead), Tony Muriello (Second Tenor), Jack Nahem (First Tenor) and Sal Bonagura (Bass). They were all close friends and spent many hours harmonizing together. "The Christmas Tree"  was written on the spot at the end of a recording session where the Episodes were singing back up to a very young man. He had written a poem call The Christmas Tree.  Sal Bonagura who is singing bass came up with the riff. They did this in one take. Irwin sang baritone and Jack sang top tenor and Tony Muriello sang second tenor. In 1962, the Episodes have their only release for the Four Seasons label in New York with "Where Is My Love" and "The Christmas Tree." Steve Beckermen joined the group after Tony Muriello left for High school.
