Tonight/Tell Me That You Care/ White Cliffs Of Dover/Every Little Thing That I Do
Noel Widerberg who was the writer of the song "Tonight"and the lead singer of the Delltones at the time, although not depicted in the photo shot on the cover of this ep, was killed in an auto wreck soon after this recording in the Sydney beachside suburbs of either Ramsgate or Brighton-Le-Sands. The group with different members exist's till this day.
The Delltones have been entertaining Australian audiences for over five decades with their most successful recording years in the 1960s. Ian ‘Peewee’ Wilson is the only current member from the original line-up. In the mid-1980s he transformed the group from a vocal quartet, to a five-piece vocal band. This along with other stylistic changes led to the band’s resurgence and the chart topping, rock ‘n roll revival album, Bop Til Ya Drop. The band remains as one of the most consistent live entertainers in Australia, with arguably the longest performing and recording history for a vocal harmony band with an original member.
Thanks so much for this little Aussie Gem! Noel Widerberg had a great voice for ballads. I live in hope that you may one day find The Dellies 1st album - "The Delltones" on Leedon LL-30815...it has Noel's best ever track "Where Mary Go" on it. I don't believe it was released in any other format? Both The Diamonds & The Flamingos put out this song, but nothing beats The Delltones version. Noel's voice was perfect for this lost-love song.
