New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate. One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years. We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres. Every Monday we feature one of our favorite stories in music. This week's choice is an interview of Joey Dee of The Starliters by Spotlight Central.
The interview was published on December 10, 2020 and is available here. The Passaic native shared insight into his childhood as a budding musician, recounted his rise to fame with Joey Dee and the Starliters, and filled us in on highlights of his six-decade-long career in the music business.
During the interview he mentioned writing his memoirs and hoped it would be coming out in the next few months. The book, Peppermint Twist Chronicles, was released in 2021 and is available here.
