MY VOW TO YOU, The Cliftonaires, CD Cut 2007

MY VOW TO YOU, The Cliftonaires, CD Cut 2007
Here’s another really great cover song from my music collection.
The Cliftonaires all hailed from North Jersey and New York. Group members singing on “MY VOW TO YOU” are Joel Katz (1st tenor), Phil Granito (2nd tenor), the late Wayne Smith (baritone), the late Jack Scandura (bass), and Ami Ortiz, (not an original member; guest artist) is singing lead. Ami has been the lead singer for the well-known singing group, “The Chantels” since 1995.
The Cliftonaires’ version of “MY VOW TO YOU” is a cut from a CD titled, “IT’S NICE”. The CD was released in 2007 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.
“MY VOW TO YOU” was originally recorded by The Students (Note #10019) 1959 and released again by them on (Checker #1004) 1962. It has been covered by many artists.
Enjoy this great cover version of “MY VOW TO YOU” by The Cliftonaires and their exceptional harmony with Amy Ortiz singing lead!
