Biography :

The Star-Drifts started singing in a hallway on 24th street between Mermaid Ave. and Surf Ave. in December of 1958. Billy Reo, Howie Tyll and Teddy Grable started to sing and listen for the harmonies bouncing off the walls of this huge...apt.Building.

Later on They were joined by others who sang with the group. They recorded their first professional recording in June 1963 for Goldisc records, A George Goldner Production.
