Discography :
The Visions were from 86th Street in the
Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn (NY). The group were managed by Jim
Gribble who also managed the Mystics (who were also from the same area.)
Gribble was a successful lawyer and talent agent down south until his
marriage broke up and he landed in Manhattan destitute. It took a while
for Gribble to land on his feet, but when he did, he opened up an office
in what now is the Ed Sullivan Building on Broadway and started to
manage vocal talent.
