The NYC vocal group who may have invented "the nostaglia schtick", taking their 50's musical stylings through the decades: Woodstock, culminating in their prime time self-titled comedy/variety show which ran from 1977 thru 1981, with a feature performance in the hit-movie Grease along the way.


Where are they now?


The group is still very much in business and actively touring, releasing records including their first Christmas record Rockin' Christmas in 2002.

This group provides us with a lot of good "WEHT" factoids:

  • Lennie Baker retired to Martha's Vineyard.
  • Scott “Santini” Powell is an orthepedic surgeon in California.
  • Denny Greene studied law and became a college professor.
  • Johnny Contardo is a journalist.
  • Rob Leonard is a professor of Linguistics and Swahili
  • Alan Cooper is a professor of theology at the Jewish Theological Seminary
  • Elliot “Gino” Cahn went on to be the manager of Green Day
  • Jon “Bowzer” Bauman co-hosted a morning show in L.A. and does guest appearences on game shows.
