British invasion style band from Sparrow’s Point. They evolved into a Top-40/soul group. With lead vocalist Norman Johnson, the group was known as Norman & the Bridgestones. Members included Mark Manelli (guitar), Charlie Steinhauser (bass), Joe Fine (tenor sax), Larry Hale (drums)…

Seen at the Patterson Park Y-Teen. As members began leaving to attend college, Norman & the Bridgestones morphed into the Soul Searchers.
