Biography :
Salvatore
"Sal Anthony" Corrente was inspired by the black and white singing
groups in and around his neighborhood in Yonkers, New York. He became
the first tenor of his first local neighborhood group, The Pastels in
1956. This group consisted of Sal, Paul Miksad, Anthony Pascuicco and
Richard Bergan. They had a sound similar to the Four Aces and the Four
Freshmen, doing local partie and shows but no recordings.
Then
Sal would join a mixed group called the Five Flames. They appeared at
the famed Amateur Night at the Apollo in harlem, New York City. It was
here they came in tied for second place with the famous Channels. This
group too had no recordings. In 1957, Sal would form his third group
with some fellow students; Frank Camarota, Joe Petrosine, Al Myslick
and Paul Fernandes who would become kwnow as the Sinceres.
As
the Sinceres many demo were recorded including very first song Sal
wrote, "Joyce". In 1978, Crystal Ball released "I Got A Girl" b/w
"Joyce". By the end of 1960, this group would breakup and Sal would form
The Dials. Sal and Frank Rangione, Dario Bianchini, Joe Raguso and Joe Rasulo were again all neighborhood (Yonkers) friends.
