There was (originally) a sax player, Denny Puricelli, but he quit for
whatever reason. The group was formed in 1963 in Buffalo, New York.
During that year other members came and went.
Jimmy Crouse and Joey Calato were the ones who started the band. They
started out as The El Dorados, but one of the guys in the band wanted to
change the name to Alley-Oop & The Cavemen after the song,
‘Alley-Oop’ by The Hollywood Argyles. They all thought it was kind of
neat so they agreed. After a while they dropped the name to just “The
Cavemen” because macho man Al didn’t like being called Alley Oop.
The Cavemen primarily consisted of Joey Calato, drums; Jimmy Crouse, lead
guitar; Ron Gorski, rhythm guitar; Harry (Skip) Miecheski, bass guitar;
Al Cretacci, lead vocals; and Sammy Sparazza, keyboards. Sam joined
after the recording in 1966. Ron Gorski passed away in a car accident in
1969.
