Cousin Brucie hosts Vito Picone, the lead singer of The Elegants, to discuss his legendary career and the enduring legacy of the 1958 hit "Little Star." Picone shares intimate anecdotes about the song's accidental creation during a playful rehearsal of nursery rhymes and recalls his early days performing on the Staten Island boardwalk alongside future stars like Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin. A central theme of the conversation is Picone’s status as a "lead horse" in the industry, an elder statesman whose memory serves as an encyclopedic record of rock and roll history. The dialogue concludes with the host successfully urging an 85-year-old Picone to finally write a memoir to preserve his unique cultural journey for future generations.
