GARY U.S. BONDS Birthday Bash!

[rrussi]

Hi Everyone! OK, this is one week late...but, GARY celebrated his birthday last week at BB KING's in NYC. He had Dee Dee Sharp and Chubby Checker perform. Apparently, Dee Dee , as she is known to do, really brought the house down. Happy Belated birthday, Gary!

I wonder if Chubby performed "Dancin Party", LOL & then Gary could have performed "Copy Cat". Now that would have been funny.

Fantastic! Saw Gary perform at the Go Go Lounge back in 1965.

I wish I could have been there. At the birthday bash, and at the Go Go Lounge back in the day. By the way, love that name-Go Go Lounge.

Gary will be performing on the Malt shop cruise in November- looking forward to seeing him. This is going to be one heck of a cruise- Neil Sedeka, Lelie Gore, Pet Clark, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Freddy Cannon, Chis Montez, Four Tops, Little Anthony, Tokens, Bobby Rydell and more.

Hey tmd, the Crystals and Shirley Alston-Reeves are also on that cruise. I was going to go, but by the time I looked into it, it seems it is pretty well sold. Enjoy!!!

Good to see Gene "Daddy G" Barge is still around at the age of 86. Talk about somebody who's done it all--legendary tenor sax session man, A&R man, songwriter, producer, actor, Grammy Award winner, toured with the Rolling Stones--that's quite a resume.

Gary still looks as young as ever.
