Jay Siegal’s Tokens will headline an evening of oldies, Friday, July 11 at Eisenhower Park’s Lakeside Theatre. Opening for Jay Siegal’s Tokens, will be performances by The Capri’s, Kid Kyle, The Demensions, and Acappella Group Classic Sounds. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.
The Tokens enjoyed success recording commercial jingles in the 1970’s and 1980’s for such products as Benson and Hedges cigarettes (“Silly Millimeter Longer”), Pan American Airlines (“Pan Am Makes the Going Great”), and Clairol hair products (“She Lets Her Hair Down”). The Tokens were the first vocal group to produce a million-seller record for another: “He’s So Fine,” by The Chiffons. Jay Siegel and the Tokens have also produced many American pop classics, Randy and the Rainbows, “Denise”, Tony Orlando and Dawn’s, “Candida,” “Knock Three Times,” and “Tie a Yellow Ribbon,” as well as “I Got Rhythm” and “See You in September” by The Happenings.
Much of the programming at the Lakeside Theatre is made possible through the Nassau County Hotel/Motel Proceeds Grant, which are proceeds from taxes on hotel and motel rooms in Nassau County.
