Len Barry, recording star and lead voice of the Dovells, dies at 78

If you were a Philly teenybopper in the 1960s, chances are you turned up the volume when one of Len Barry’s rock 'n roll hits came over the airwaves.
Born in West Philly as Leonard Borisoff, Mr. Barry was a homegrown product. He graduated from Overbrook High School and broke into the music business as the lead singer of Philly’s Dovells in 1961. The group’s “The Bristol Stomp” hit No. 2 on the Billboard charts, earning a gold record.

1-2-3 is one of my favorite oldies. What a sad ending, another one claimed by cancer.
