COLLAGE VON ROCKINPETE

HARDI

Der Pianist Chick Hetti, geboren am 26. Februar 1930 als Carl Cicchetti, der Schlagzeuger Donny Conn, geboren am 29. März 1930 als Donald Claps, und Morey Carr, geboren am 31. Juli 1932, waren anfangs der Fünfzigerjahre allesamt Studenten der University of Connecticut in Waterbury, ihrer Heimatstadt. 1952 begannen sie als Komödianten eine Tour durch Canada, wo sie sich The Nitwits nannten. Bei Umwandlung in eine Musik- bzw. Gesangsgruppe nahmen sie den Namen The Playmates an. Als solche erhielten sie 1957 einen Vetrag mit ROULETTE-Records, wo sie bereits mit "Jo - Ann" die Charts eroberten
