New York -- Fred Milano, who made rock and roll history on doo-wop hits with Dion and the Belmonts in the 1950s and continued to perform while starting a late-in-life career with the New York City Department of Correction, has died. He was 72.
Milano died Sunday, three weeks after his lung cancer was diagnosed, said Warren Gradus, who joined the Belmonts in 1963. Milano lived in Massapequa, on Long Island, and died in a hospital, Gradus said.
Dion Dimucci, the lead singer who left the Belmonts in 1960, said on his Facebook page Tuesday, "May he rest in peace and rock on in heaven."
Milano and three friends from the Bronx formed the Belmonts in the mid-1950s, borrowing their name from the borough's Belmont Avenue. They became Dion and the Belmonts after Dimucci joined in 1958.
Milano sang tenor on hits like "A Teenager in Love" and "Where or When."

Mom #5: Karen Powell

Starring: Robin Williams, Diane Lane, Brian Kerwin, Jennifer Lopez
If you haven’t seen this movie, don’t worry, most people haven’t. Rated at a measly 5.4 out of 10 on IMDb it seems that the armchair critics hate this movie.
