Idolmaker Robert Marcucci Dies
. Born in Philadelphia, Marcucci and songwriting partner Peter DeAngelis started Chancellor Records during the late 1950s. Things really took off when Marcucci discovered Avalon at a nightclub in 1957. He and Angelis even co-wrote the hit song that launched Avalon's career � "DeDe Dinah." "It was the worst song I ever heard in my life," said Marcucci in the 2006 book Great Pretenders: My Strange Love Affair with 50s Pop Music. "I didn't figure it would ever make it." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Frankie Avalon CDs Frankie Avalon MP3 Downloads |
