Yes I do. Val is my aunt, Vinnie was my uncle and Viv the drummer was my dad. They went on to record with CBS and released several singles, the highest chart reaching was called "Do it again just a little bit slower" they then toured the UK and worked on Cunard Line for a while before splitting up in the mid seventies.
Hello

Hi Don are you there would like to ask some questions about the group
Were the Melfi related to the Melfi Trio ?
