>> Steve Vai <<
Jerry Vale (born Gennaro Luigi Vitaliano; July 8, 1932, The Bronx, New York) is an American singer.
Vale started singing in high school musicals and at a local nightclub. This led to additional club dates, including one that lasted for three years at a club in the suburb of Yonkers, New York, just north of the city. When Paul Insetta, (who was a road manager for Guy Mitchell and a hit songwriter) heard him there, he signed him to a management contract, changed his name, and further coached him. He then arranged for Vale to record some demonstration records of songs he'd written, and brought the demos to Columbia Records. Vale then signed a recording contract with Columbia, and Insetta managed him for many years. His version of "The Star-Spangled Banner", recorded in the late 1960s, was a fixture at many sporting events for years. |

The Sock / Sixteen Senoritas (Sparton 4-963) The Sock was written by Sipson P. Kloop (pen name of Al Parker, a milkman from Surrey B.C. who composed songs on the run). The Valentines really rock on The Sock with driving bass, strummed guitar, drums and two good sax solos. The song is an Elvis tribute which tells a story about an article of Elvis Presley's clothing (a sock) they had picked up from Colonel Tom Parker as a souvenir. The lyrics include "The little hole in the stocking is from the Rolling and a' Rocking made by Elvis Presley's left toe."
-The flip side also written by Sipson P. Kloop Sixteen Senoritas has a novel Mexican influence and is a driving rocker with sax, piano, driving bass, drums and really cute vocals from The Valentines with a hot sax solo!
Formed in Vancouver B.C. in 1960, The Valentines comprised of Irene Butler, Nancy Davis, Joy Findlay and Miki Shannon.

--Luka / Night Vision (A&M 2937) Released as a single in 1987. It remains her highest-charting hit in the United States, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. This song was one of the earliest to deal with child abuse and domestic violence. One critic said, "the 'happy' music is a metaphorical denial, making this seem beautiful and serene while discussing something terrible and devastating. It is a wonderful use of tune as a metaphor for how many abuse victims also deny their abuse, and is a profound classic".
