Jack Strong brings us his "JP's Salad Bowl" with a nice mixture of doowop tunes from all over. However, reflecting his roots, "JP's Salad Bowl" always has a nice garnish of those great old Philly tunes. Jack grew up in the shadows of Philly and started singing with a group in 1962. He wrote and recorded with the Lytations (Kaptions) in 1963.
Later, in 1965, he formed Java Records with Val Shively. Jack continued to write and record throughout the years, with the Contenders in 1965-66 and with Lou Tavani (one of the original Contenders) in The Revolvers in 1994.
Jack puts the food on the table working as a carpenter. He still collects the sounds, writes and sings. He's happily married to Peggy (Stevie Nicks biggest East Coast fan) for the past 34 years. They have two fabulous children and three grandchildren and are still crazy after all these years.
