Does anyone know if Brenda Lee is still performing?

Thanks for the info, Little Rich.

The Happy Together Tour 2019 is set to get started at the end of May for another summer of oldies concerts.  Originally the brain child of Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan back in the mid 80's, this traveling tour has been amazingly successful, summer after summer.   They do about 50-60 dates each year, from late May to late August/early September.  Travel from venue to venue every day, much like the old Dick Clark tours. This year's lineup is:  The Turtles featuring Flo and Eddie, Chuck Negron,  Gary Pucket and the Union Gap, the Buckinghams, the Classics IV, and the Cowsills.

I've been looking to see if Howard Kaylan will be back on tour this summer - he wasn't on last year's tour due to health issues.  If anyone knows if he is a part of the 2019 HTT, please respond here.

Just a word of warning to anyone planning to attend the show.  Beware of casino shows.  A couple of years ago we trekked almost 2 hours to a casino north of Toronto to see the show.  Each group/performer sang only 3 songs.  Found out later through performers' web sites that the casino told them to shorten each set so they could get the show in under 90 minutes.  Needed to get those people back in to the casinos to spend more money after the show.  Apparently you might see as few as 3 songs or as many as 5-6 per group, depending on the venue.

I assume they will remove "featuring Flo and Eddie" from their promotional materials.

Noticed that The Del Satins are included on a show slated for September 22nd at the Patchogue Theater for the Performing Arts.  Original members Stan Zizka, Les Caucci, and Tommy Ferrara still perform with the group.

Les Caucci does double duty on the oldies circuit as he also also performs as an original member of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Brian Wilson postpones June tour.

Update on The Fifth Dimension:

While Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. continue to tour as a duo, (concerts scheduled in Ohio and Pennsylvania in August), Florence LaRue and her Fifth Dimension group also perform regularly (in Los Angeles at the end of June).

On March 31st, The Searchers performed their final concert, as original member John McNally and Frank Allen (with the group since 1964) announced their retirement after 57 years of touring and recording.  Right to the end they had been performing well over a hundred gigs every year, mostly in the U.K.  I got to see them about ten years ago at a local casino, and the classy stage presence as well as the strong harmonies were still there.  Interesting comment on their web page regarding the group name.  Not sure if it's aimed at Mike Pender, who continues to tour with his own group, Mike Pender's Searchers, or others who might try to misrepresent themselves as The Searchers (as has happened with many phony Platters and Drifters groups).

I recognize that this news is in contradiction to the theme of this thread, but since they have not shut the door to some performances in the future, I thought it was appropriate to place it here.

While Diana Ross has maintained a fairly high concert profile, Mary Wilson has also continued to perform regularly.  She will be appearing at the Bear's Den in the Seneca Casino (a very nice, intimate 400 sear venue) on September 30th.

Apparently Lou Christie has been the victim of a death hoax.  He is alive and well, and will be performing at an oldies show in Easton, Pa. on October 19th, as well as in Dearborn Michigan on November 15th.

Here's an event organized by Joe Walsh and including ZZ Top.

Although her name has been listed here before as among those oldies performers still "on tour", when I came across a couple of recent concert listings for La La Brooks, I noticed that she is billed (or bills herself - I'm not sure which) as the "Original Lead Singer of the Crystals".  That title is one of those phrases that, while it may not be a complete misstatement (depending on how you interpret the words), it most certainly is misleading.

First of all, Brooks was not even an original member of the group - she only joined the Ctystals in 1963, two years after their first hit.

The Crystals had 6 top twenty U.S. hits.  The first two, "There's no Other" and "Uptown" featured the lead vocals of original member Barbara Alston.  The next two hits, "He's a Rebel" and "He's Sure the Boy I Love", were not even sung by the Crystals.  Phil Spector decided to use Darlene Love and her group The Blossoms to record those songs (even though they were released as being by The Crystals). Their final two hits, "Da Doo Run Run" and "And Then He Kissed Me" did indeed have La La Brooks as lead singer.

So what do you think?  Is La La Brooks misrepresenting herself by adopting the term "Original Lead Singer of the Crystals" to describe herself when she performs?

One last note - Dee Dee Kinnebrew, the only original member, tours with her own Crystals group, and has done so since 1971.
