CARLO MASTRANGELO - By Al Kelly Carlo Mastroangelo was the lead singer for the Belmonts before Dion came along and recorded with the group on and off after he went solo. He made about six records for the Laurie label but never had a major hit. Several caught on as local region hits. The Belmonts never backed him on any of his recordings. The DeMilles backed Carlo on this record ("Ring-A-Ling" by Carlo - Laurie 3227, 1963) and on others the Tremonts backed him.
