One of the first purveyors of rock nostalgia, Nino and the Ebb Tides started as the Ebbtides from the Bronx, New York, in 1956. Schoolmates Antonio "Nino Aiello (lead) and Vinnie Drago (baritone) drafted Tony D'Alessio (2nd tenor) and a guy remembered only as Rudy (bass). They met talent scout Murray Jacobs, who cut two sides with them in 1957: "Franny Franny" b/w "Darling I Love Only You," "Darling..." written by Nino and Vinnie, and "Franny, Franny" written by Nino, Vinnie and Tony D.
