The Heath Plan presents Rock, Roll & Doo Wop Volume 26! Starring Gary Lewis and The Playboys, Charlie Thomas' Drifters, The Box Tops, Brian Hyland and Pure Gold.
The comedy antics of his father, Jerry Lewis, skyrocketed him to fame when he was just barely out of his teens, but in 1965 Gary Lewis & the Playboys released their first single, “This Diamond Ring” and it went straight to number one. That same year, Gary was Cash Box magazine’s “Male Vocalist of the Year”, winning the honor over other nominees including Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. An enviable string of hits followed - “Count Me In”, “Save Your Heart For Me”, “Everybody Loves A Clown”, “She’s Just My Style”, “Sure Gonna Miss Her”, and many more. He was the only artist during the 60s to have his first 7 releases reach Billboard’s Top 10. Gary still sounds just like his records and tells the stories only he can tell - growing up in Hollywood, becoming one of the biggest rock stars of the sixties and touring the world with hits everyone knows and loves.
Plus: Charlie Thomas’ Drifters are back by popular demand singing all their hits including “Under the Boardwalk,” “Up on the Roof,” “Save the Last Dance for Me,” “On Broadway.”
For the first time ever, we’ll be joined by The Box Tops, who were trail-blazers in the 60s and one of the most influential bands of the era with hits like “The Letter” and “Cry Like a Baby.” We’re also bringing back ‘the voice of summer love,’ Brian Hyland who’ll sing the indelible “Sealed with a Kiss,” “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,” “Gypsy Woman” and more.
Special guest appearance by Pittsburgh’s own Pure Gold as seen on PBS-TV.
Produced by Spotlight Productions.
