Please respect the memory of Frankie Condo… "Condo" was a singer, a natural first tenor. He was also very versatile, able to do all parts of the background, but that ringing, crystal clear tenor set him apart from the crowd. Frank was also a very dedicated family man …. But Frank's longest and most enduring loves were singing, and a group called "Rick & The Masters". The group formed while he was still in South Philly High, and the flame burned for over forty years. Near the end he performed with "Memory Lane" and "45 RPM"… Frank developed lung cancer and after a long battle he passed from this mortal coil on March 26, 2008 at the age of 65… He will be sadly missed. The following groups are scheduled to appear:
