GINO & THE DELLS - by Al Kelly

Gino was Frank "Gino" Amodeo with Peter Chacona, Louis Reyes and Augie
Borgess. The group started in '62 on the Long Island streets of Eastern
Suffolk County, NY. "Altar Of Dreams" became the title song  of Clark
Galehouse's Shelley and Golden Crest Great Hits.  The record never got
any exposure and was a limited  pressing record so the value is higher
than the group's other releases. This was the group's only actual
release while Gino released three singles with the unlisted Dells.
Singers were just single names back then and Galehouse thought it might
click better with just Gino! Gino had one record called "It's Only A
Paper Moon" which got some play in cities and a few sales but never made
it big. Gino went on to sing with the Royal-Aires on Gallo and toured
with Gene Pitney's "Shower Of Stars" as the lead singer of the
Reflections ("Just Like Romeo & Juliet) in the 60's.
