1958

In 1957 George Morton formed a vocal group with friends Marty Monaco, Tony Giannattasio, Victor Eusepi and Sal DiTroia.  Marty Monaco's mother had a basic recording studio in her basement in nearby Levvitown, where the guys wrote, rehearsed and taped demos of their songs. The owner of a local record store took a liking to the young quintet and helped arrange for them to audition for RCA.

The group made their recording debut with "Hot Rod", released on RCA in the summer of 1958. Later that year, RCA released their second 45, "Make A Record, Man"
