The Royal Teens - Believe Me
Description
Bill Crandle, Bill Dalton, Tom Austin, and Bob Gaudio formed the original band, then known as the Royal Tones, in Fort Lee, New Jersey in 1957. Crandall left the band and was replaced on sax by Larry Qualiano, and in 1958, Joe Francovilla (aka Joey Villa) joined the line-up as singer. A name change followed to the Royal Teens, when they got a shot at recording on the tiny Power Records label.
A short stay on the Mighty Records label, and a similar lack of success, brought them to Capitol, where they made the top-30 in 1959 with the romantic, doo-wop style number "Believe Me"
