The Suffolk is turning back the clock with “A Night of Music & Memories,” a show on Saturday, June 8, at 7 p.m., featuring The Tokens, The Capris, The Fireflies and Sky’s the Limit.
Jay Siegel’s Tokens are truly one of pop music’s most versatile, talented and enduring groups. Ever since their first hit single in 1961, The Tokens have remained popular with generation after generation.
The Capris are an American doo-wop group which, in 1961, had a number one hit with “There’s a Moon Out Tonight.” The group experienced a popularity and performing resurgence in the 1980s, when in 1982 it recorded the monster hit song, “Morse Code of Love.”
The Fireflies were an American doo-wop group from Long Island that was popular in the late 1950s to early 1960s. The group’s second single, “You Were Mine,” was their biggest hit. The song was written in 1959 by 19-year-old Paul Giacalone about a girl he met while he was touring. It spent 16 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at #21 on October 26, 1959. Later singles included “I Can’t Say Goodbye,” “Marianne,” and “My Girl” — all in 1960.
Sky’s The Limit is a three- man vocal group whose music pays tribute to The Original Duprees.
Tickets for the show are $45 to $65 at thesuffolk.org. The Suffolk is at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
