1) One is a UK based netlabel producer.
2) The other is a Canadian based hip hop musician/DJ. He is commonly known for his split work with Buddy Peace, as well as his solo releases.
3) Carlo Mastrangelo (October 5, 1937 – April 4, 2016) was an American doo-wop and progressive rock singer. He was an original member of The Belmonts (with or without Dion DiMucci), a popular singing group of the late 1950s and early 1960s. When Mastrangelo left the Belmonts, he attempted a solo career on Laurie Records, releasing four singles under the name "Carlo". He was backed vocally by the uncredited Tremonts (aka The Demilles). The singles, "Baby Doll", and "Little Orphan Girl", received considerable airplay in Florida and a few other states, but didn't make the national charts. "Ring-A-Ling", a tune which he overdubbed catchy bass vocals to, was a favorite of New York disc jockey Murray the K. He featured it on his weekly, "Record Review Board Contest", February 12, 1964, and it was the clear winner. It received airplay on New York stations WINS and WENE, but also failed to chart nationally. Around the same time, he contributed backing bass vocals to the Laurie single, "Donna Lee", by the Demilles, before joining Dion DiMucci again. He also led the progressive rock/jazz ensemble, "Pulse", during the 1970s.
Carlo was born and raised in The Bronx, (he lived in an apartment on the corner of 179th St. and Mapes Ave.)
Mastrangelo lived in Boynton Beach, Florida, minutes away from Dion DiMucci. The two former lead singers of The Belmonts continued to collaborate on many of DiMucci's recordings and live performances from the 1980s until Mastrangelo's death in April 2016.
Is It True
Carlo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've gotten over me
Is it true?
You're not what it seems
Is it true?
I'm not the one for you
Is it true?
Is it true?
I'm so helpless
So forgotten
Close to rotting
I want nothing
More than you
But I remember
I'm option number two
Is it true?
You've gotten over me
Is it true?
You're not what it seems
Is it true?
I'm not the one for you
Is it true?
Is it true?
Go on honey
Live your life
Spend that money
Just don't think twice
I'll still be here
Like a fool
Counting days
Until I'm back there with you
Is it true?
You've gotten over me
Is it true?
You're not what it seems
Is it true?
I'm not the one for you
Is it true?
Is it true?
In "Is It True," Carlo expresses his disbelief and pain over the end of a relationship. He repeatedly questions if it's true that his partner has moved on from him and if he truly doesn't mean as much to them as he thought. He acknowledges his own helplessness in the situation and how he feels forgotten and close to emotional decay. Despite feeling this way, he confesses that he still wants nothing more than to be with his partner, even though he remembers that he is likely not their first choice.
The second paragraph reflects Carlo's resignation to the reality of the situation. He encourages his partner to go on with their life and spend their money freely, even though it hurts him to think about it. He admits that he will always be there for them like a fool, counting the days until he can be back by their side. This highlights his unconditional love and willingness to wait, despite knowing he may not be the one they truly desire.
In the chorus, Carlo repeats his initial doubts and questions, emphasizing his desire to know if his partner has truly moved on and if he no longer holds the same significance to them. He is seeking confirmation or truth, wanting to understand the reality of the situation.
Overall, "Is It True" portrays the pain, confusion, and longing that can come from the end of a relationship. Carlo grapples with his emotional vulnerability, accepting his position as second choice and hoping that his partner hasn't truly forgotten him. The lyrics showcase the complex emotions and inner turmoil that come with the uncertainty of a lost love.

Matthew.16: 4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.
Col.2: Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.
2Thessalonians.2: 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
10and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

a protestant or atheist !!!! thats a bit naughty, i am a christened protestant and i watch with wonder and belief
the youtubes on these saints, i certainly dont wish to be put in a list along with the atheists, and i believe that in the end times, true believers in the Lord God will stand shoulder to shoulder to fight the evil that is all around us
@melindabloom7281
tony ...thank you! So is this someone we need to pray to or worship now? All believers in Christ are considered to be incorrupt. I certainly hope that no one worships or prays to me!
@melindabloom7281
tony ...Amen to that! Glory be to Him alone!
@bjmoon1097
Deceived you folks are. The catholic church is the church of the antichrist. Repent and turn to Jesus.
@memyselfandeye76
I am an atheist, and I would never disrespect a person's a religion, beliefs and faith. Personally, I love reading the stories of saints. I think it's beautiful considering how many lives they've touched when living and after death. Good people are good people, period.
@nmjazz09
I pray that you understand that God is calling you to Him.

I was in Italy a year ago in June, on a Eucharistic Miracle Pilgrimage with 50 people and a very holy priest. A call came in from the US that a parishioner who just graduated college was hit and run over by a car on the freeway. He was in critical condition and most likely would not live. Most definitely would have severe brain damage and never walk again. We went early to his tomb in Assisi. We all gathered around and laid out hands on it. We prayed earnestly for this man and begged for Carlo's intersession. We prayed chaplets and rosaries. At Christmas Eve Mass, this man was there, completely recovered except for some out patient therapy for speech and walking. He's fully functional!
This is truly a miracle and we cried for gratitude and joy! Praise God! Thank you blessed Carlos!
