A picture of Tony Mart’s as it appeared in the early
summer of 1963. Along the right margin are photos
of the 5 “Fall Guys” as they appeared at Tony Mart’s
in 1963. The Fall Guys were the epitome of a great
“house band” performing to rave reviews and
tremendous applause for five years from 1960 through
1964 at Tony Mart‘s. They actually played behind
some of the biggest names in show business including
Conway Twitty and Del Shannon while “Runaway” topped
the national charts.

Famous postcard showing the interior of Tony Mart’s in
1959. Len Carrie and the Crackerjacks played their last
season at Tony Mart’s in 1959. This was a Tony Mart’s
that was very crowded and very successful, commercially
in 1959 and 1960, causing Tony Mart to do a major
expansion in the winter and early spring of 1961 as the
frantically busy “golden years” ensued. |
