Stu Nunnery

Stu Nunnery only put out one self-titled album that contained the classic song "Isle of Debris". The album came out in 1973 and was on the Evolution record label. To my knowledge, it has not officially been released on CD. So, does anyone know what happened to Stu?

Update on Stu Nunnery - Monday, April 16, 2007

I recently heard from Stu (again) and he is alive and doing well. Below are a couple of pictures of him. More infomation will be coming.....

Stu - Then Stu - Now

Jonathan Round

Jonathan put out one album on the Westbound record label with a cover version of The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil". This has to be the scariest version of this song ever - complete with thunder and Jonathan's crazy sounding laugh.

So, where is Jonathan Round today?

Under the Boulevard Lights by Chuck Francour

Chuck Francour

Chuck only released one album - Under the Boulevard Lights - on EMI Records. The title track is a Klassic. There was also a 12 inch single which contained the title track. So, whatever happened to Chuck Francour?

The Magic Magician by Steve Baron

Steve Baron

Steve Baron put out three albums. His album "A Wanderer Like You", contained the classic song "The Magic Magician". The story I heard from a DJ at the time this album was released was that it represented Steve's last shot at making it in the music business. Steve said "If this one doesn't make it, I'm going to do something else." Evidently that is what happened since I never saw another album by him.

Update on Steve Baron

I recently heard from Steve's bass player - Jef Lowell. He informed me that Steve passed away in March 2002.

Several months prior to Steve's death, he sent an e-mail containing information about what he is currently doing:
I produced several projects, went back to school and have become an RN with some creative projects on the side. I think I am a different person and the same. I just got back from NY. Mostly the beach.

Can You See Him by Batdorf and Rodney

Batdorf and Rodney

John Batdorf and Mark Rodney released three albums in the early to mid-seventies. The albums were titled: Off the Shelf, Batdorf and Rodney, and Life Is You. Each of their albums contained one or two songs that received airplay on FM radio stations.

So, what happened to Batdorf and Rodney?

High by Cheryl Dilcher

Cheryl Dilcher

Cheryl put out several albums on A&M Records in the early to mid-seventies. Her albums are rare and collectable today and have not been re-released on CD. Several years ago I heard from a DJ that she was living in Southern California and considering releasing some new music, but I never heard anymore about it. So where is she today?

Update on Cheryl Dilcher - Monday, April 16, 2007

Yes, I have heard the rumors that Cheryl passed away. I do not know if this is true or not. A couple of fans have sent me e-mails about a posting on a music related website. So far, I have only seen it posted on one site. I am still attempting to verify if this information is accurate.

A personal friend of Cheryl's recently sent an e-mail with information about Cheryl: Cheryl resides in LA and is acting. Of course, her main love is music and she still continues to perform at small local venues. Cheryl also continues to write extensively and she has over 30 years of remarkable and beautiful music sitting on paper. Unfortunately, the music business is cruel and they tend to forget who has real talent. Hopefully, we will find Cheryl proper management who can get her music back to the world.

Here is another update on Cheryl Dilcher.
She now has three new songs plating on the MP3 website. Free downloads. Great Ballad called ROSE AVENUE and great new retro 70's song called SEE YOU AGAIN.
Check out Cheryl's new songs at MP3.com


A fan just told me about a new Cheryl Dilcher website which has been setup at: Cheryl Dilcher Check it out.

Michael Fennelly

Michael was a member of the group Crabby Appleton that put out a couple of classic albums in the early seventies. Their self-titled album from 1970 featured the classic song "Go Back".

A couple of years later, Michael put out two solo albums. The 1974 album Lane Changer featured the classic song "Touch My Soul." Neither of Michael's solo albums have been released on CD even though they were originally on Epic Records.

I recently received an e-mail from Michael. He reported that he is living in the Pacific Northwest and that he retired from the record and music business several years ago.

Mike Quatro

Mike put out several albums in the seventies which featured several underground FM radio songs. However, to this day, none of these albums have ever appeared on CD. Another interesting fact - his sister was Suzy Quatro who also released several albums and had a big hit in the late 70's with the song "Stumblin' In". She also played Leather Tuscadero on the TV show Happy Days. So where is her brother Mike?

History and Update on Mike Quatro

A product of the same musical Detroit family that spawned rocker Suzi Quatro and the all-girl garage band the Pleasure Seekers, Mike Quatro also enjoyed a lengthy career on the Motor City club circuit, issuing a series of solo records during the 1970s. The son of jazz band leader Art Quatro, he began playing piano at a young age, and as a teen earned a spot performing on {#The Lawrence Welk Show} during the late 1950s. By the end of the following decade, however, Quatro had largely turned away from performing to become a promoter, booking live dates throughout Michigan; his shows were notable for their pioneering use of closed-circuit video technology, anticipating the increasing reliance on video over the years to follow. By the early 1970s he returned to performing, soon signing to the Evolution label and issuing his solo debut Paintings in 1972; Look Deeply in the Mirror followed a year later, and in 1975 Quatro moved to United Artists to release In Collaboration with the Gods. Despite a fervent local following, he failed to reach a national audience, and subsequent efforts like 1976's Dancers, Romancers, Dreamers and Schemers, 1977's Live and Kickin' and 1979's Getting Ready made little impact on the charts. Out of the public eye for well over a decade, during the 1990s Quatro formed his own music and video production venture, Quatrophonics; in 1995, he also issued Vision, his first solo LP in 16 years. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
