Top-40 / variety group. Members included Bernie Ruocco (lead vocals, guitar), Jim Mancini (lead guitar), Gary Schulte (bass), Dan Hastings (keys), and Jack Thompson (drums). In 1972 Ruocco was replaced by Lenny Wasilewski. They released a self-produced single in 1971 “See What You Lost (In Me)” b/w “Just an Image” both sides written by Mancini-Ruocco. Lyrics by Pat Ruocco.
Time of Your Life could be seen at teen centers, St. Ursula’s CYO, school dances… Club Venus, Latin Casino, Seagull Inn, Kale’s, Club Villa, Hollywood Palace…
Ruocco left the group in 1972 and formed a trio that consisted of Bill Perich (drums), and Lisa Bach (keyboards) who played at the Playboy Club. He later went on to join Beggar’s Opera, Dry Dock…
Bernie’s son Mike Ruocco continued the Ruocco family musical tradition playing drums for the nationally known rock band SR-71.
