Frank Stallone - Thank you to Frank for sending me a few pics from his personal scrapbook.

Concert flyer from 1969, future band mate Jody Giambelluca
was in Sweet Nothin' at the time.


The picture is noted as Frank's first solo performance from June 7th 1970. This was taken at a big benefit concert
at Washington Crossing State Park, Titusville, NJ. Also on the bill that day were Jacobs Creek, note the speaker cabinet
in the background, Maury Muelheisen, who brought along David Bromberg and other popular local bands. According to
Maury's sister Mary, they intended for the concert to be a fundraiser, but no one sold or bought tickets, so they put together
another concert to actually raise money. Here are a couple more pics from the concert  HERE and HERE .

Be sure to visit his website frankstallone.com to see what he's up to and where he's appearing. I saw a video someone posted on youtube of Frank and his band performing and he's still a great talent with a great voice.

Frank recently had the original recordings from
the Valentine album that came out around the
time of the first Rocky movie remastered
and is now available on CD.
