OMG! I think anyone in their 50’s will remember The DeFranco Family! They were HUGE back in the early 70’s!

I'm turning 58 in 3days and my younger brother just surprised me with all kinds of Tony DeFranco memorabilia that he purchased off eBay I had a lot of stuff already, but some of the gifts were unreal! Just listening to it now makes me smile so much my cheeks are aching.. Thank you for turning back the clock and making me feel like a teenager again everytime I hear your songs....

Tony,I grew up with you! I have every album you ever made and I devoured Tiger Beat mags.,etc. I've had a few drinks and I always back to the 70's... I lost my husband recently and I guess I'm wanting to be comforted by the songs I grew up with... P S., I learned how to speak Italian from an issue in Tiger Beat magazine... I'm too young to be a widow...life happens...oh,Tony, .. it's early 70's,.. and I'm 11 listening to my clock radio in 1973...I even wrote u a letter on toilet paper cuz my brothers made fun of my crush I had on you... oh,..I loved the 70's!!!

I would buy a house from him in a HEARTBEAT. *swoon.. and still swooning at 60 something. :) He was one of the good ones that didn't crap their life away after teen idoldry. Smart, empathetic and charismatic... me and my mom were both in love. I write this as my husband is bedridden with kidney failure after being on life support. We aren't young anymore and the memories that you made when you were young and naive and the world was your oyster should have some sort of meaning to get you through the bad times when you get old. Tony does that for me. I just watched several DeFranco Family videos/songs and it made me feel like I could carry on.. at least for another day. God Bless you, Tony. You are SO loved deep down in SO MANY SOULS that you just have no idea of. Thank you for being here.

What a delight to encounter the further career post-stardom of someone who modestly fully _realized_ (sic) Warren Buffet's comment that "those of us born in the United States should realise that in The Lottery of Life we drew a winning ticket". Countless millions of Americans IMHO fail to realise this. As a Limey, it is something I deeply appreciate regarding my own country.
