THE BELMONTS, THE EARLS, CATHY JEAN & THE ROOMMATES, THE JIVE FIVE, THE DEL-SATINS, HAPPY DAZE, KASTLE KINGS, THE CAMERONS, THE DOO WOP ALL STARS - - -ALL GROUPS I HAD THE PLEASURE OF PERFORMING AND RECORDING WITH!!!.......Below is a picture of myself and two of my dear friends (since the days of Moses)Fred Milano, original member of DION & THE BELMONTS & Stan Zizka, original member of the DEL-SATINS. *who backed up Dion on all his "solo" years hit records. I have performed and recorded with each group, each for many years and consider myself blessed to be part of such history. Not only do I consider them friends in the music business, but friends in life and consider them family! I have learned ALOT from both individuals and have had some of the greatest years of my life with them. Too many stories to tell (and can still get in trouble for I think). Memories that are in my heart forever. Two very talented indivuals who EARNED my respect because they are "the real thing"!! Much Love & Respect! Arthur Fonzerelli*** Oh, I taught you guys a thing or two myself not for nothing!!!
***note: Stan is standing, Freddy is sitting, I am there standing as well. The other person (all the way to the right of the picture) is someone who tried to "demand" respect, but could never earn it - no mater how hard he tried!! Because he NEVER had "LEROY" in his soul - That little man you are blessed by God with who gives you your talent whatever it may be!!. You can't fake it. You can try too, and fool your friends, but you cant fake it to the people who know!! You just aint got the goods my friend, and it will never come. Practice dont cut it. You have to be born with it - "LEROY" - It's like the kid who can't play ball for his life BUT only gets picked to play on a team, because he's the one who owns the baseball. That's a nice way to put it I think! And personaly -only he knows how he will go down in the books and in my thoughts! Believe me, he knows!!

YOU CAN LOVE ME OR YOU CAN HATE? - DO YOU THINK I REALLY CARE? IF THAT'S REALLY YOUR PROBLEM, THEN YOU MUST BE BEWARE!! I DON'T START ANYTHING WHEN YOU ALL WHINE AND CRY, I JUST FINISH YOU OFF, THEN YOU PLAY STUPID & ASK ME WHY??? I'M STILL"THE BEAST" THAT CAN SING & PLAY, AND I PITTY YOU ALL IN SOME STRANGE SORT OF WAY. MY GIFT IS STRAIGHT FROM GOD THAT NO ONE CAN TAKE, I'LL NEVER GO DOWN, BEND, CRACK, I'LL NEVER BREAK! THIS IS MY LIFE, I'VE DONE IT FULL TIME, NOT LIKE YOU "WEEKEND WARRIORS", WHICH I CONSIDER A JOKE AND A CRIME!!!!! I LIVED THIS BUSINESS THROUGH IT'S UPS & DOWNS, SEEN MANY A TALENTED PEOPLE BUT MOSTLY JUST CLOWNS!!! YOU CAN ALL TRY AS HARD AS YOU MAY, BUT IF THE MUSIC DIDN'T COME TO YOU DIRECT FROM GOD, IT AIN'T NEVER COMMING YOUR WAY!!!!! GO TO WORK, PUNCH THE CLOCK AND PLAY SUPERSTAR ON SATURDAY, THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO WORK YOUR "DAY-GIG", YOUR NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO HAVE IT THE OTHER WAY! YOUR MOSTLY ALL BURNT OUT, EXCEPT FOR THOSE RARE FEW,THE REST SHOULD REALLY HANG IT UP & FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO! YOU LIVE IN DREAMLAND AND STILLTHINK YOU'RE A STAR, WHEN IN REALITY NOBODY REALLY GIVES A SHIT OR REMEMBERS WHO YOU ARE. I'VE SEEN BUMS COME & I'VE SEEN BUMS GO, AND WHAT I FORGOT ABOUT THIS BUSINESS, MOST OF THEM COULD NEVER KNOW. GO AHEAD, PLEASE GO TALK ABOUT ME ALL YOU CAN BECAUSE WHEN WE ARE FACE TO FACE, I'VE STILL YET TO MEET ONE REAL TRUE MAN!!!!!!! HATE ME, DESPISE ME, DO WHATEVER YOU PLEASE,YOUR ALL A BUNCH WHORES TO ME ANYWAYS - NOTHING BUT DIESESE! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO HONOR AND RESPECT FOR A PEER WHO JUST MIGHT BE YOUR FOE? THAT WENT DOWN THE TUBES, ALONG WITH YOUR CARREERS A LONG, LONG TIME AGO! SOME OF YOU ARE A COMPLETE DISGRACE TO THIS BUSINESS THAT WAS ONCE QUITE NICE & BIG, BUT SOME OF YOU ACTUALLY PRAY THAT SOMEONE GETS CANCER SO YOU CAN "RUN A BENEFIT OR GET YORSELF A GIG"!!!!!!? I KNOW WHAT I HAVE SEEN,WHAT I'VE DONE AND WHAT I'VE SAID, BUT I CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR EVERYNIGHT SMILING BEFORE I GO TO BED! CURSE ME TO DEATH, HOLLAR & SCREAM,PLEASE TELL ME TO GO DIE - BUT I KNOW WHO I AM (AND I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE) AND AT LEAST I DIDN'T LIVE A BIG LIE!!!!! AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO KNOW ME, AND TO THOSE WHO I'VE BEEN WITH, NOW REALLYTHINK HARD, YOU CAN NEVER EVER BEAT ME AND I WILL ALWAYS HOLD THE LAST CARD!!!!!! SO, WHENEVER YOUR STUMPED & YOU NEED A "REAL" CHORD OR HAVE TO BE "TAUGHT" YOUR NOTE, JUST REMEMBER THAT I'M STILL "THE BEAST" - ALWAYS WILL BE - AND TO THAT I WILL PLACE MY QUOTE!(Author Unknown)"HEY RAY, YOU NEVER KNOCKED ME DOWN RAY!?
