Presenting The Mystics!
Original Member And Driving Force Of The Mystics!
George Galfo, has been the driving force of The Mystics for several years. His career started in the music and entertainment industry in 1958 as a member of The Overons, the group that evolved into The Mystics. As The Mystics original second tenor, George is heard on all the group’s Laurie Records releases as well as several unreleased demos that are highly regarded by collectors. George appeared with the group on several TV shows in the 1950’s and 1960’s including the Clay Cole Show, Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, Alan Freed’s Big Beat Show and Jim Gallant’s Bandstand in Connecticut. Stage highlights of the day included Alan Freed Stage Show at the Brooklyn Fox, the Cavalcade of Stars tour run by the Legendary General Artists Corporation and Palisades Park appearances hosted by “Cousin Brucie” Morrow. Aside from their own hit records, George and the group provided vocal back-up for several other artists, including Connie Francis on her 1959 release “Tommy”. George led his own Mystics group in 2002, emerging as a charismatic lead singer, in his own right. In 2011, Phil Cracolici, George’s uncle was the group’s original lead singer, who joined forces with George and his group to carry on the torch. The Mystics legacy continues on through the 21st century. George Galfo was inducted into the Doo Wop Music Hall of Fame on March 14, 2015!
Phil Cracolici, started his singing career in 1956 with friends and soon after, formed The Overons with his brother Albee and his nephew George Galfo. The Overons later evolved into The Mystics. Phil is the original lead singer of the group’s mega seller 1959 International and National Hit “HUSHABYE”, as well as their highly-regarded follow-up “Don’t Take The Stars”….Prior to joining his nephew George in 2011, Phil was with the Brooklyn Reunion (along with the Classics and The Passions) performing throughout the New York area and on PBS-TV specials. Phil Cracolici was inducted into the Doo Wop Music Hall of Fame on March 14, 2015!
Rocky Marsicano, began his singing career at an early age. His love of singing started in grammar school by joining a glee club and in the late 1950’s he found himself harmonizing with the guys on the street corners. In a short time Rocky, along with Joe Fatone, formed a neighborhood group called “The Orions” that performed locally well into the 1970’s. In the later 1970’s Rocky became a member, first tenor and recording artist with “The Riffs”. In 1985 Rocky was invited to become a member of “Lenny Cocco and The Chimes”, a relationship that lasted over twenty-three years while performing allover the country as first tenor, lead and recording artist on two Cd’s. In 2002 Rocky performed for several months with “Jay Siegel” and “The Tokens”, later returning back to “Lenny Cocco and The Chimes”. From early 2008 until late 2011 Rocky performed with “The Manhattan Skyline”. Rocky Marsicano now resides in Florida and has proudly become a member of the group he has always admired, “The Mystics”.
