Biography:
When Donn Fileti obtained the Verdicts' masters from Bill Downs, he met a friend of his who had just cut two sides with a young group from the Bronx featuring Warren Gradus (Later with the Belmonts). The Darnels as they were Called were lucky enough to have "Gone" and "I Lost My Baby" issued in the fall of 1963 as the first and only release on the Eddies label Stan Krause, Ed's partner in this venture and Donn Fileti brought the record around as a new release to radio Stations in the Chester-Wilmington area and were promptly, but politely shown the door.

But Cashbox gave "Gone" a B+ rating in December 1963 believing that: "Teen memory Seekers will be stirred by the optima teen ballad blend". Later with Frank Lyndon (From the Belmonts) on Lead , the Darvels cut two Unreleased sides "Mr Fortune Teller" and "Last Goodbye" issued in 1978 on Crystal Ball Records as Frankie & The Darvels.
