Seeing as how several of y'all have such a raging hard-on for '70s AM Gold, I'm surprised that Peter Lemongello's name hasn't come up yet.Only thing is, he never had a hit single, but evidently this commercial for his album used to run like clockwork on East Coast television and made him a regional star anyways. I'm sure this LP is probably a common sight in NY/NJ thrifts and rummage sales. Check this action:

dude looks like he had local mafia money backin him.
'dont worry bout it, well get ya on the tv...'
he later got a shot at a legit record deal w/private stock records, who also had "a fifth of beethoven" and frankie valli. and that's how i first heard of him, because long after the mania died down and private stock went out of business, his album was all over the woolworth's bargain bins
Apparently, the singing thing didn't take, so he went by his middle name "so no one would notice."
