about

Written and produced by Sy Smith

On this interlude, my father (Sy O. Smith aka Big Sy) speaks about his younger days growing up in Queens, NY, where he used to sing doowop on the street corners with his friends. My dad's love of doowop music and street corner harmonies is a huge part of my own foundation as a music.

We cap off his interview by singing a little bit of "Now And Later" in a doowop style. Check out Big Sy's baritone and bass chops tho! Whooo!
