I FOUND YOU, The Cliftonaires, (CD Cut) 2008

Описание: I FOUND YOU, The Cliftonaires, (CD Cut) 2008
Here’s another really great unknown song from my music collection.
The Cliftonaires all hailed from North Jersey and New York. Group members singing on “I FOUND YOU” are Joel Katz (1st tenor), Phil Granito (2nd tenor), the late Jack Scandura (bass), and the late Wayne Smith (baritone). Cyndy Taylor is a guest artist singing lead.

The Cliftonaires’ version of “I FOUND YOU” is a cut from a CD titled, “FARE THEE WELL.” The CD was produced by the late Ronnie Italiano (known as Ronnie I) of Clifton Music. He opened his CLIFTON MUSIC STORE in 1972 and it closed in 2012.

Ronnie I started U.G.H.A. in 1976 which created a resurgence of interest in vocal groups when at that time many vocal groups were "off the grid" and forgotten. United in Group Harmony Association was an organization dedicated to the preservation of vocal group harmony. U.G.H.A. provided the opportunity to see the groups and hear the music that was seldom or never heard on commercial radio.

Ronnie I created the first "Hall of Fame" for vocal groups and balanced running his record store, radio show, record label, U.G.H.A. and promoting concerts and still found time to produce and record many vocal acts who might never have had any recordings. In addition, he was responsible for having reunited many acts for his U.G.H.A. shows who may never have ever sung together again!

He has produced and released so many recordings by so many artists that it's impossible to list them here. His sincere dedication to the vocal acts from the 1950's and 1960's was a labor of love.

Although, Ronnie I is no longer with us, his many contributions and efforts have left his indelible mark on doowop music forever. He was a very dear friend and is sadly missed.

“I FOUND YOU was originally recorded by The Metrics (Chadwick #101) 1964

Enjoy this really great cover version of “I FOUND YOU” by The Cliftonaires with Cyndy Taylor singing lead! In my opinion, The Metrics’ version doesn’t come close to this version.
