COUSIN-BRUCIE-ARTICLE-Norman-Fox
ROCK & ROLL CALL.
As soon as Norman Fox walked onstage at our Palisades Park Reunion (9/9/22), I knew that he still had “IT”. Norman was always among the most unique and talented performers in the business.
Our guest “visitor” is Norman Fox founding member and lead
vocalist of “Norman Fox and the Rob Roy’s.” The group originated in the Bronx and they were one of the first interracial quintets. Norman gathered his fellow classmates from DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx and formed a DooWop group. The guys practiced in the school’s boys room and in Norman’s garage. Two perfect locations to get that “Special” sound. They listened to and studied groups like
The Harptones, The Eldorados and The Cleftones and then crafted their own Unique style and sound. Norman and the Rob Roys worked hard, appearing in local shows, church and school dances. They signed a recording contract and had several regional hits including: “Tell Me Why” (a Radio favorite), “Dance Girl Dance”, “Dream Girl”
and “Pizza Pie”. (toppings are extra)
