The 4th Annual Philadelphia Doo Wop Festival will be held on Saturday, August 8th, 2009 and is once again part of the Penn’s Landing Summer Concert Series. Last year we had a great show and a wonderful turnout. So please save the date and tell all of your friends and Family. All proceeds benefit PVMSEC and their direct assistance to Veterans in need.

The "Headliner" at this year's Philadelphia Doo Wop Festival will be The Duprees. The Duprees are known the world over for their romantic interpretations of some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. They have made a career out of giving new life to old hits. If you take some of the most beautiful songs and arrangements of the 1940's and put them together with the Duprees sound, you come up with something that has withstood the test of time. Starting out in the early sixties in Jersey City, New Jersey the group was discovered by George Paxton, president of Coed Records and former big band leader from the 1940's. He was impressed with The Duprees smooth vocal quality, and had them record Jo Staffords 1950's ballad "You Belong To Me" with big band arrangements. It was an instant national hit and the groups first million seller. The unmistakable sound was born and the hits kept rolling. Today the group consists of Tommy Petillo, Phil Granito, Jimmy Spinelli, and Tony Testa.

Police and firefighters who lost their lives in the Vietnam War will be honored during Memorial Day observances Monday, May 25 at noon at the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Front and Spruce streets at Penn's Landing.

Keynote speaker will be retired Army Col. Joseph T. Cox, the headmaster of the Haverford School and Vietnam Veteran. Col. Cox is a former English and composition professor of the U.S. Military Academy of West Point, NY.

"There is a proud tradition among our police and firefighters of serving our country, a tradition that continues today," noted Terry A. Williamson, president of the Memorial Fund Board of Directors. "The recent fatalities among the Police Department only served to highlight the sacrifice of these brave men and women, who risk their lives to preserve the public safety."

In concert with Memorial Day on May 25, the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Board is launching a grass roots fund-raising effort that will "permit every patriotic and concerned citizen a chance to show they care" about the continuing desecration of the Memorial at Penn's Landing.

The Board also announced that it will be honoring the four Philadelphia police officers and firefighters who lost their lives in Vietnam during ceremonies at noon at the Memorial at Front and Spruce Streets. The keynote speaker will be Joseph T. Cox, headmaster of the Haverford School and a retired Army colonel who served in Vietnam.

The Memorial, dedicated in 1987, was built largely with individual donations from veterans and others and "we hope the same sort of spirit will permit every patriotic and concerned citizen a chance to show they care," said Terry A. Williamson, president of the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, which oversees the Memorial in cooperation with the Fairmount Park.
