About
An incredible six-act GOLDEN OLDIES SPECTACULAR: A NIGHT OF LEGENDS graces the Proctors stage. These six acts were instrumental in shaping American pop and rock, largely in the early 60s. We are so appreciative that these legendary acts still perform at a very high level, bringing the audience back in time to one of the most wonderful eras in our history.
The lineup includes:
- THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE: Formed by combining the Crest’s lead singer, Johnny Maestro, with the Del-Satins (Dion’s backup singers) and the horn players from the Rhythm Method. The Bridge deliver stirring versions of Maestro’s Crest hits "16 Candles," "The Angels Listened In," and "Step by Step," as well as their late sixties hits "The Worst That Could Happen," "Welcome Me Love," "Blessed is the Rain," and "You’ll Never Walk Alone."
- THE DUPREES: The Duprees are famous worldwide for their romantic interpretations of some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Hits include "You Belong to Me," "Have You Heard," and "My Own True Love."
- JAY SIEGEL’S TOKENS: The Tokens had three smash hits, "Tonight I Fell in Love," "Portrait of My Love," and their international #1 hit, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Unique in the history of pop music, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" re-entered the charts 33 years after being #1 and became #1 again, stoked by its use in "The Lion King" movie. Jay Siegel also produced hits for many other groups and sang on many commercials.
- BRIAN HYLAND: Brian became a teen idol at the age of 16 when "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" soared to #1 on the Billboard charts. He toured the US and Europe with Dick Clark’s Caravan of Stars. Other major hits include "Sealed with a Kiss" and "Gypsy Woman" (a #3 hit).
- LA LA BROOKS: La La’s group, The Crystals, was produced by Phil Spector and became one of the premier girl groups in pop history. "He’s a Rebel" was a number one hit, and "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Then He Kissed Me" (used in the movie Goodfellas) were both smash hits. La La also appeared on Broadway in the original cast of "Hair," often singing "Aquarius," and she starred in the movie "Cotton Comes to Harlem."
- THE SKYLINERS: Pittsburgh-based, they were formed by Jimmy Beaumont in the late 1950s. "Since I Don’t Have You" is their signature hit. Other hits were "This I Swear" and "Pennies from Heaven."
Six legendary acts performing countless hits that will transport the audience back to the 1960s. Thanks to Proctors' loyal oldies audience for keeping this great music alive.
