@Little Albert I went dancing with equal amount of blacks and whites. We all had fun in those days. America was changing for the better and I think the ones that didn't want the country moving in that direction has worked hard since that time to stop it from happening.

Rob Parissi (lead vocals and guitar) was raised in the steel-mill town of Mingo Junction, Ohio. He graduated from Mingo High School in 1968 and formed the band Wild Cherry in 1970 in Steubenville, Ohio.[3] The band's name, 'Wild Cherry', was taken from a box of cough drops.[4] The band played the Ohio Valley region, the Northern West Virginia panhandle, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The original lineup included Ben Difabbio (drums and vocals) and Louie Osso (guitar and vocals) from Steubenville, Larry Brown (bass and vocals) from Weirton, West Virginia, Larry Mader (keyboard and vocals) from East Springfield, Ohio, and Ron Vallera (guitar and background vocals) from Steubenville, Ohio).
