Remember When

“Remember When”

 “Remember When” was formed as a vocal group in 1961 and was known as the “Chandlers”.

The group performed 50′s and 60′s “Doo Wop” and saw venues from street corners to major regional showplaces.

Now in 2009 the “Oldies” are much more than the original scope of material. Their song list now goes from the 50′s to the 90′s. “Remember When” now gives the term “Oldies” a new twist with class and humor to any venue or group.

“Remember When” has performed anywhere from small regional venues to corporate venues and has shared the stage with many national acts like the Spinners, The 4 Tops, The Capris to name a few.

“Remember When” wrote and recorded “The Long Black Wall” in 1989 as a tribute to all veterans on the Vietnam War and is active in entertainment at major military venues including VA Hospitals and bases around the country.

The group lineup today is:

DICK VERBECKEN: Lead Singer, 2^nd tenor

Dick is the newest member of the group and has strong background in performance, music theory and when not with “Remember When” can be found performing as a DJ/KJ at major corporate events. His humor and wit will put a smile on the face of many in his presence.

KEN DONMOYER: Lead Singer, 1^st tenor

Ken’s smooth mellow voice is one of the main reasons for the success of the group. His easy-going, laid-back style is a rare and welcome relief from the pounding rock, rap and hip-hop music of today.
