To the best of my knowledge, they were not only the only Filipino-American rock n' roll group during the late '50's/early 1960's to chart in the US, but also the only Asian American rock n' roll act to chart here in the US.
That was too funny. I saw this yesterday on Antenna TV and I was too good. Those children were so professional, how they keep composure was excellent, bc had that been me, I would have been on the floor dying!!!
JACK SOO INTRODUCED THE GROUP.....HE PLAYED ON BARNEY MILLER....ALSO HE WAS A WORLD WAR 2 HERO ...HE WAS WITH THE 187TH ...ALL JAPENESE AMERICAN FIGHTERS.....
What a riot! I had to watch a second time and I'm sure that's Jack Soo (From the Television show "Barney Miller") introducing the Rocky Fellers in the beginning of this video
Thanks, Marshaird, for putting this up; GREAT CLIP!!! "Killer Joe" was popular just around the time I started listening to the local Southern California top 40 stations ('63) but I don't recall hearing it then. I think I have actually become familiar with the Rocky Fellers from listening to the Little Steven Underground garage radio program, he seems to work KJ into his playlist every couple of months. Thanks again, this is very cool.
At 3:17, in the original network broadcast, Jack said, "Well, good night, folks- and I'll be seeing you next week, for Jell-O" [General Foods and State Farm Insurance were Benny's alternate sponsors at the time].
Okay, so we have American Jack Soo dressed up like a Japanese, introducing Pinoy dressed up like Americans, and Jack Benny dressed up like the Pinoy . . .LOVE IT!
Love this group even when I was 11 years old! Jack Benny was such a great guy and I thought he was old back then! LOL

Their hit song "Killer Joe" was one of my favorites!
THere were a few Asian acts (Kyu Sakamato and the Kim Sisters) but they were born in Asia.
Saw them live when at a dance in Brooklyn they where great

Jack Benny was a classic!
The first (I think) Filipino and Asian American rock n' roll band to hit US chart success.
THAT MAN PLAYING THE BASS IS THE KIDS DAD
great boys, very talented and unique.
.....and it's the way Jack is letting you know, he's got this....the man was a classic !
Jack Benny, the definitive interpreter of Little Richard.
Classic Jack Benny. thanks for sharing...
El terible mabuhay kayo mga kababayan ko .nasaan na kaya ang mga batang ito?

Warren Varker You’re absolutely right: That IS Jack Soo (from the movie,”Flower Drum Song.”).

They were briefly successful in the early 60s but the British Invasion ended it all
They are great!
That lead singer had SOUL! Reminds me of when Bruno Mars was a youngster!
