Who were the Teardrops singing Italian songs?
An article with some interesting detail, and a couple of names: Posted: Monday, January 31, 2011 6:36 pm By MARTIN DeANGELIS Staff Writer | Everybody called him Paulie Teardrop. His real name was Paul Ciaurella, but even he called himself Paulie Teardrop after 30 or so years with The Teardrops. The group, which included his brother, Tony, started in the early 1950s in New York and specialized in traditional Italian songs. Tony Ciaurella died in 1980. Paulie moved to the Atlantic City area in 1984 and kept playing his guitar and singing professionally until just last year. He lived in Egg Harbor Township's West Atlantic City section and died Jan. 14 at 76. There was no obituary printed - a niece said Paulie never wanted one. But one of his close friends said that decision came with a cost for people who cared about him. "Nobody knows he's dead," said Helen Bischoff, of Brigantine, who met Paulie at one of the casinos where he worked - most often as a strolling musician, serenading individual tables in upscale Italian spots. "And that's sad, because he would've had tons of people at his funeral." Rita Stafford remembers doing a lounge gig at Caesars Atlantic City while Paulie was working upstairs in Primavera, the Italian restaurant. "Anybody who knew him as a musician knew he loved music," said Stafford, of Linwood, who fronted the Rita Stafford Band. "His whole world was about music. And he would totally work the rooms - the people loved him. He had lots of fans, people who followed him. And they came in just to see him." Paulie Teardrop knew plenty of famous musicians, too. His friends reportedly included Jerry Vale, Tony Orlando, Dean Martin and a lot more big names. Anna Vourvahis, an owner of A Touch of Italy in Egg Harbor Township, said Paulie brought Vale, his fellow Italian crooner, to her place at least once. And she remembers Paulie doing his act there even when she didn't hire him. "He'd sing, going from table to table, and he was just having a great time," she said - a mood that was often contagious. "The people were very excited, all clapping along with him." Paulie's niece Nancy Bruckner said there were deep roots in The Teardrops singing along as a sort of side dish to Italian food. As a girl, she remembers going to the Bronx apartment of her grandparents - Paulie's mom and dad, John and Rose - for Sunday dinners. "Always meatballs, macaroni and gravy, of course," she said And when the food was finished and the women were cleaning up, Uncle Paulie would pick up his guitar, Uncle Tony got his accordion and their dad grabbed his mandolin. "They'd open the doors of their apartment, and I remember all the women in the building, dancing and singing in the hall," she said. "It was always a party when we were there." Apparently, lots of people could say the same thing whenever Paulie Teardrop was making his music.

Where can you find a biography on the doo wop group 'Paulie and the Teardrops?
He hasn't written a biography yet. But he has LOADS Of Memorabilia and Loves to talk about those "Good Ole Days".. I've told him he should write a biography and he said yes he should but not sure if he will or not. You can see & talk to him every Friday, Saturday & Sunday nite at Bucchnals<sp> (italian restaurant) at Ceasars in Atlantic City NJ. He sings there as a strolling mus cician and still has a Great Voice. Update 1/23/2011 Pauilie sadly passed way In January, 2011 in Atlantic City of pneumonia. I found this article on ShoreNewsToday from 2008 that is very informative. Paulie Teardrop, named the "Toast of Atlantic City" by radio host Joe Ranielli, has been performing in Atlantic City for years, a real legend right here in our own back yard. His storied career makes him one of the last of his kind. Paulie "Teardrop" Ciaurella, and his brother, Tony, started making music in the early 1950s as the Teardrops. Born in East Harlem, they would pack up their instruments, and take their show on the road. "I was about 15 and my brother Tony and I would take the train to Orchard Beach," Paulie said. "I played guitar and Tony played accordion and we'd both sing and play until the police kicked us off the beach. Somehow it caused a commotion that they were not used to, but we loved it." The Teardrops became known for their Italian songs and show, unique to the era. From opening at New York's Copacabana Club in 1953, to Las Vegas and ultimately Atlantic City, The Teardrops were a fixture. They recorded "Aunt Carmella's Italian Favorites" for RCA and Laurie Records in 1961 and the rest, as they say, is history. "Till" became a hit and the album was RCA's top selling ethnic album that year. One million copies later, a gold record was presented to The Teardrops. The album is a mix of Italian songs and a little bit of comedy thrown in. Paulie's "character," Aunt Carmella, showed up on 500,000 Manhattan Soda six packs hawking the album. It had a tear off mail in coupon with a special "Manhattan Soda" discount, all for $5.98, areal 1960's celebrity sponsorship. Soon after, another album with Aunt Carmella, a.k.a. Paulie Teardrop, was recorded, "More Italian Favorites," and the success continued. More high profile gigs and shows, over 20 albums, two Rolls Royces, pink Cadillacs, celebrity romances and the years pass in a whirlwind of lights and action. Many things are evident as you walk into Paulie Teardrop's home. The gold record for the Teardrop's song "Till" is displayed proudly, along with "collectors" gold records by Elvis Presley, Tony Orlando, Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra. There are posters and programs with the Teardrops and other headliners. Autographed baseballs, vinyl records, videocassettes and books abound. There are walls of photos, many of them signed, by every known entertainer from the 1950s through the present, people and celebrities that The Teardrops shared the stage with or just came to enjoy their legendary show. All stars on the rise, all posing with their friends The Teardrops, Paulie and Tony. Sammy Davis Jr., Jimmy Durante, Red Buttons, Johnny Carson, Connie Francis, Tony Bennet, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Dinah Washington, and so many more. Paulie has an amazing memory for dates and many stories to go with the pictures. "One of the proudest days of my life was on September 23, 1983 when I sang the National Anthem at Yankee Stadium," he says as he points out a picture of two very young Yankees, Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin, at the Copa with their friends The Teardrops. The stories include one about the Beatles, "In 1963 while touring the Guild Company guitar shop, Paul McCartney saw the personalized 'Paul' rod cover on my guitar that was being built by Carolo Greco," says Paulie. "He had to have it. So Carolo took it out and gave it to him. I got another, but I share more than a name with Mr. McCartney." The mate to that guitar, constructed of tiger spruce with inlaid ebony and pearl "teardrops" now resides in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. A recognized national treasure, the guitar is named "The Teardrop." Sadly, Tony passed away in the early 1980s, but Paulie Teardrop carried on. "I moved to Atlantic City on June 13, 1984 to perform at Primavera Restaurant with Peter "Fingers" Girardi on accordion. I've been in Atlantic City ever since," Paulie said. "I've been through all the changes, all the ups and downs. I had an offer in the 1990s to move to Las Vegas for double my salary, but Atlantic City is home. I couldn't leave." Paulie Teardrop was one of the last strolling musicians performing anywhere, certainly the last in Atlantic City. You could see this living legend as he strolled through Primavera in Caesars Casino singing and playing his Italian songs every Saturday night till he retired due to ill health. "I've performed every single New Year's Eve for the last 58 years," he says. Truly, a legend.
