“Kenny Galeano founded The Saints in the 1950s in a Brooklyn church basement and has been singing with them or another group since then.
He relocated to Florida in 1988 and recreated The Saints, with the help of Jerry Frulio, another Brooklyn/Queens kid, who played drums with The Reflections (Rocket to the Moon) and the Jesters Four and moved to Florida in the early 1970s.
Members have come and gone since then, but Galeano and Frulio are still part of the group, along with Jerry Deleddo, who was born in Italy but grew up in Detroit, where he played guitar and sang baritone with The Continentals; Ed Gallaway, another Detroit boy, who sang with The Crystal Blend, the Detroit Chimes and the Laredos; and Andy Kachianos, from Queens, one of the original Saints who later sang with The Capris and as backup with Chubby Checker, Gloria Gaynor, and Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge.”
“The Saints bring heavenly doo wop harmonies to Richey Suncoast Theatre” by Barbara L. Fredricksen, Times Staff Writer, Tampa Bay Times, Tuesday, April 16, 2013
The historic Richey Suncoast Theatre opened in 1926 as the Meighan Theatre, named after silent film star Thomas Meighan. Sound movies premiered at the Meighan Theatre in March 1930. After stints as The Vogue and The Cinema, the theater re-opened in 1972 as a theater featuring live productions under the name Richey Suncoast Theatre. Today, the completely renovated Richey Suncoast's gold dome is a centerpiece of historic downtown New Port Richey.
