Beginning in 1975 the group transformed into a full-blown floor show band complete with numerous costume changes. Known by then as Freddie Paul & the Easy Livin’ Show, members included Freddie Paul (vocals), Mary Pandolfini (vocals), Terry Paul (vocals), Stan Turk (guitar), Jaime Arbona (bass), Vince Cinquegrani (keyboards ex-Sheratons, Sticky Leaf), and John Tracey (drums ex-Queen’s Chapel, Trigger Happy). The group continued touring the east coast and clubs as far west as Michigan.
Turk was later with Pzazz, and Secrets. Arbona later played for Secrets. Cinquegrani went on to Inner Realm… Tracey went on to join Climbadonkey, Ravyns, Crack the Sky…
