Through song and dance, Sal Marino and his buddy, Freddie Marione, entertained crowds across the country, in a musical act the pair dubbed The Tu-Tones. They performed at the Ted Mack Amateur Hour in Seaside Heights and won twice. 

After coming into contact with Ted Mack, a famous radio and television show host of the era, the duet met Teresa Brewer — a famous pop singer — who took them under her wing. She helped to get them a recording contract. The Tu-Tones cut two singles on Cabot Records  founded by Paul Wexler in January 1957 in New York.
