THE ROCKY FELLERS

                     

THE ROCKY FELLERS, fueron un quinteto de cuatro hermanos filipinos y su padre, descubiertos por el productor Stanley Kahn y firmaron para Scepter Records a principios de 1963. Tuvieron un éxito, "Killer Joe", escrito por Bert Berns (como Bert Russell), que obtuvo al No. 16 en la primavera de 1963, lo suficientemente grande como para tener la oportunidad de grabar un LP completo para la etiqueta. Fueron más un acto de novedad que otra cosa, y se desvanecieron con la llegada de la invasión británica, desapareciendo de la vista después de mediados de la década de 1960.

           

            

              

The Rocky Fellers were an American-born Filipino pop/rock band discovered by Stanley Kahn in the 1960s, who signed them to Scepter Records. The group was composed of four Filipino brothers: Tony, Junior, Eddie and Albert Maligmat, and their father, Doroteo "Moro" Maligmat.[1] They had a hit single called "Killer Joe", written by Bert Russell, Phil Medley, and Bob Elgin in 1963. The song was inspired by famed dance instructor and 'King of the Discothèque', Killer Joe Piro. It has many similarities to the chorus of the Mickey and Sylvia hit, "Love Is Strange".

"Killer Joe" reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1963. They followed up with another Bob Elgin song called "Like the Big Guys Do". Among their other recordings was a Christmas novelty song, "Santa, Santa", written by a then-unknown songwriter, Neil Diamond. The Rocky Fellers also recorded another Neil Diamond song, "We Got Love" which is available on their LP, Killer Joe from 1963. The Rocky Fellers faded quickly from the music scene in the mid-1960s, primarily due to the arriving British Invasion bands.

          

Tony Maligmat died on March 4, 2007 at the age of 62.

Albert joined the Society Of Seven in the 1970s where he was billed as "Little Albert" Maligmat, played drums and electric bass, and was the lead vocalist on one of the group's biggest hits, "99.8" He left the group to pursue a solo career but returned for several years in the 1980s.

As of November, 2017, Albert and Eddie are performing in Waikiki.

Wow, I don't believe this.  Funny but the song "Shake rattle and roll" was one of the old songs in a box filled with music that was given to me when I was young.
