(Englewood Cliffs, NJ – September 11, 2009) – Do you remember the 60’s paisley shirts, velvet trousers and Regency jackets? Do you remember psychedelic, folk rock, and pop music? All of these sixties fads are being reborn into one night at the hub for culture in Englewood, the bergenPAC, on November 7th. This night will feature many of the 1960s most notable memories and movements including The Grassroots featuring Rob Grill, The Vogues, Brian Hyland and Chris Montez. Full of energy and excitement, this event is expected to be as colorful and vibrant as the era it is representing.

The sixties, jam-packed with lively music, could only be epitomized by artists such as The Grassroots, The Vogues, Brian Hyland, and Chris Montez.

The Grassroots achieved one platinum album, two gold, albums, and thirteen gold singles that truly grounded their career during the 60s. They brought rock-and-roll to a new level in American music and truly molded the era. They sat atop Billboard charts with most of their singles and released hit songs that flooded the stations such as “Let’s Live For Today”, “Things I Should Have Said”, “Bella Linda”, and “Lovin’ Things”.

The Vogues also splashed their many successes across the American music industry. This quartet had their singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart such as “You’re the One” and “Five O’Clock World” and two more singles shot to that chart in 1966. In 2001, The Vogues was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

Transforming the pop music sector of the industry was Brian Hyland who will also be featured at bergenPAC. Hyland defined the bubblegum tone in the sixties and set the tone for other pop artists of the time. His biggest hit single was reached at age 16 with “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” which sold over two million copies. He also released his other billboard singles such as “Sealed with a Kiss”, “Let Me Belong to You”, and “I’ll Never Stop Wanting You” which were also very successful.

Chris Montez also stole the spotlight in the sixties for his Latino flare. Much of his inspiration was drawn from Ritchie Valens. His musical styling featured the flavor of the Latino culture and released singles with that inventive style. His hit, “Let’s Dance” went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. and #2 on the U.K. Singles Chart.
