The Rocky Fellers

Four brothers and their father came from the Philippines.
For a brief time, they were big on the music scenes.
They recorded a hit song many people would know.
So many times, listeners heard it on AM radio.
Up the Billboard charts went their recording “Killer Joe”.
It was inspired by discotheque king “Killer Joe” Piro.
Other recordings by this group would appear.
As far as success went, none of the others came near.
Even though this family group has gone away,
we can still listen to their hit song today.

The laugh's on me, Robert. I thought you were going to write about the Rockefellers -- politicians from a renowned NY family. I haven't heard this group, but maybe they are featured on youtube. You'd be surprised how many old songs are posted there. Way to go, Robert! Love, Carolyn
