This guy is the same dude as actor Tony DArrow, who played on Goodfellas, the Sopranos and others. He actually was involved in organized crime, and was found guilty earlier this year for loansharking or something like that.
Thanks, fun one to look up and great music to drink martini's to. Its Philly all the way with the composer, arranger (they spelled his name wrong) and label all from Philly. Looks like the odd man out is Tony our gangster from New York. My favorite bit of info is the fact that in 58' Crosby signed Rosco and his Little Green men who all had green hair! Hey, Here's a you tube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0BNuG9GMIk&feature=related - they weren't bad.
Crosley (PA) 218 (1959) Mike Russo - I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door : Listed as Rock 'N' Roll but going by his tracks on the Bigtop Mad LP & RCA Might be doo-wop novelty
Crosley (PA) 226 (1960) Tony Darro - Sad Sad & Lonely / ??? maybe a Teen rocker

The label got the arrangers name wrong and I got the labels name wrong - I meant Crosley.
