You'll get no argument from me, sir grin .

Although, I'd be remiss if I didn't point our that a young Jewish fella named Paul Simon was second tenor for the Mystics for about five minutes in 1960. He was quickly replaced by the late Jay Traynor (the original Jay of Jay and the Americans, and coincidentally, another young Jewish fella smile ).

If you listen very closely to "All Through the Night," you can can pick out Simon's not yet fully developed voice. Here's the Youtube link:

Simon was half of Tom and Jerry (Art Garfunkel), who had a hit in 1958 with "Hey School Girl."



Wow, I don't remember that song at all. I do love Paul Simon and do remember hearing of Tom and Jerry (other than the cartoon that is) tongue.

Btw, that record label "Laurie" sure rings a bell. confused I recognized it right away. I'm guessing my brother had some records in his collection with that label.
