In case anyone is able to attend the upcoming April 5 ceremony in the Bronx to honor the legendary Chantels of MAYBE fame, it would be really nice if they could post something on the SDF about the event. The article I am including here says that the Cookies and the Toys will be at this FREE event to honor the legendary Chantels.

This is wonderful news; thanks for sharing Woodward. The Chantels certainly deserve the honor for their work.
My friend I went to college with Mom is one of the original Chantels. This is a very well deserved honor.
Very cool.
Interesting, Marv. My Mom told me, years ago, she sung with The Chantels, before they were signed. Back when the group and other future acts sung/hung out at Roosevelt High School on Fordham Rd in The Bronx. We lived on 180th. and Valentine Av.Quote:

Consequently, a couple years ago, I revisited her claim. She said she had some "papers" she wanted to give me, about those days. Unfortunately, she died suddenly in 2017. And in cleaning out her FLA. apt., I failed to find any such "papers". Then again, I didn't remove her final effects alone. As I had to fly back to DE., where I've been for over 20 years.
Any of you fellow SDF posters can bring me closure? Wade in.
