| In the world of words and music, Ernie Maresca is an uncanny phenomenon. A couple of years ago, Ernie stood on the sidelines of showbusiness watching new stars skyrocket to success. Deep down inside, he felt the longing that goes with talent. He knew he could write the melodies and lyrics of hit songs. Ernie was positive that with a little recognition as a song-writer, fame and fortune would come to any singer who recorded his material. In no time at all, this dream became a reality. Ernie Maresca's hits orbited the earth like a Mercury Seven capsule. "A Lover's Prayer", "Runaround", "No One Knows", "The Wanderer", "Runaround Sue", "Lovers Who Wander", and many others, helped Dion, The Belmonts, The Regents and Nino and the Ebbtides to the red carpet of stardom.
Right in the middle of this excitement, Ernie and Tom Bogdany, a neighbourhood buddy, got the idea for a follow-up to the Twist called "Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out)". To Seville Records Artists and Repetoire-man Marv Holtzman they came! Ernie's demonstration was exciting! Within a week Ernie had cut it and the rest is history. To the top of the carts it zoomed and as a result, Ernie Maresca is in world-wide demand as one of America's top teenage singing attractions. |
