For those of you who have enjoyed music from the past, I would like to present to you some of the singers and music groups who have passed on and are no longer with us.
They entertained us for years as we danced and sang to their songs.
We listened to their music on those old 45s.

Feel free to add or comment to this list of those singers of the past that we enjoyed for so many years.

As we begin, I will present to you the group known as "Johnny Mastro and the Brooklyn Bridge".
The lead singer Johnny Mastro passed away in 2010
Les Cauchi - backup singer passed away in 2020
Fred Ferrara - backup singer passed away in 2011

She had many hit songs during her singing career.

Songs like:
You Don't Own Me - 1963
