In 1962 all the neighborhood kids were going around singing " Ba Ba Boww..."
"Cast as the bass man in "Mr. Bass Man" is Ron Bright, a bona fide bass singer in his own right.
When the Valentines formed in 1954, Bright sang bass for them. Among their best known releases are "Tonight, Kathleen; Lily Maebelle; Woo-Woo Train;" and "Nature's Creation."
After six years as a Valentine, Bright moved on to join Earl "Speedo" Carroll in Speedo and the Cadillacs.
In late 1962, Ron found himself in the studio backing Johnny Cymbal, adding his "bomp-bomp-bomps" to tunes like "Mr. Bass Man" and "Marshmallow."
