The Stafford Township Arts Center in Manahawkin will be hosting an “Oldies Spectacular” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 8.

It’s a tribute to The Platters, featuring Frankie Pizzaro, a former lead singer of the group.

For folks who don’t remember The Platters, they were one of the most successful vocal groups of the early rock and roll era, with a distinctive sound bridging the music of Tin Pan Alley with the new, burgeoning genre of doo-wop in the 1950s.
