Discography :

The Visions were from 86th Street in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn (NY). The group were managed by Jim Gribble who also managed the Mystics (who were also from the same area.) Gribble was a successful lawyer and talent agent down south until his marriage broke up and he landed in Manhattan destitute. It took a while for Gribble to land on his feet, but when he did, he opened up an office in what now is the Ed Sullivan Building on Broadway and started to manage vocal talent.
