Biography [edit]The Earls are one of the New York City doo-wop success stories. Discovered singing on the street corner in front of subway station, the Earls took the original black doo-wop street corner harmony sound, and refined and expanded it for new audiences.
Larry Chance was the driving force behind the group's formation and success. Larry grew up in Philadelphia and attended high school with Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, and Danny Rapp of Danny and the Juniors. But it was not until 1957 that he moved with his parents to the Bronx after high school, that his musical career took off.
Chance formed a group at the Tecumsa Social Club, known as the Hi-Hatters. The group was Chance, Bob Del Din, Eddie Harder, Larry Palombo and John Wray. In the fall of 1959 they were singing in front of a subway station when Johnny Powers, who had a fledging record label, Rome Records, heard them. Powers took them into the recording studio. They paid to record four tracks as the Hi-Hatters.
About this same time, Chance picked the name the Earls at random out of a dictionary. Later, in 1959, the Earls lost their original member Larry Palombo in an army skydiving accident when his parachute failed to open during an exercise. In 1961, Rome released the Earls' first record – "Life is But a Dream" (Rome 101 – 1961) b/w "Lost Love" (and later released with "Whoever You Are" as the B-side). The group then performed with Murray the K and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand show. They released another record that year, "Looking For My Baby" (Rome 102) b/w "Cross My Heart".
In 1962, the group hooked up with Stan Vincent and recorded "Remember Then" for Old Town Records (Old Town 1130) b/w "Let's Waddle". It was a hit, peaking at #24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963. Chance co-wrote the group's next single "Never" b/w "I Keep A-Tellin You" (Old Town 1133–1963). The group scored another hit in 1963 on Old Town with "Eyes" b/w "Look My Way" (Old Town 1141). Later, a demo "I Believe" was released (Old Town 1149–1963) b/w "Don’t Forget".
Chance later had a brief solo career, recording "Let Them Talk". He returned to the Earls who, at that time, had two new members – Bob Moricco and Ronnie Calabrese. The group started playing their own instruments and, in 1967, recorded "If I Could Do It Over" b/w "Papa" (Mr. G 801 – 1967), and a track for ABC Records, "Its Been a Long Time Coming" b/w "In My Lonely Room" (ABC 11109–1967).
The group continued performing into the 1970s and, in 1977, they released a disco version of The Velvets' "Tonight (Could Be the Night)." By 1983, the group's personnel were Chance, Ronnie Calabrese, Colon Rello, Bobby Tribuzio and Tony Obert, and they recorded Larry Chance and the Earls – Today.
Former member Art Loria died October 23, 2010. He performed and recorded with the group for 8 years in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was the writer of the groups tribute to Elvis song, "He's Alive. The song is also on LARRY CHANCE SINGS COUNTRY, a new album by Chance

I'll Never Cry
The Earls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without a prayer or two
That heaven might find a way, so I
Might just run into you,
Just to be near you and to hear you say hello
Would give an ordinary day a lovely glow!
I'll never let a day pass by
And thrill to every tender sigh
While you're in my embrace,
I know it's all a dream, but darling, if it were true,
I'd never let a day pass by without my loving you!

I'll never let a day pass by
I will always make sure to make the most of every day
Without a prayer or two
I will pray for a chance to meet you
That heaven might find a way, so I
Hoping that fate will work in my favor
Might just run into you
To unexpectedly meet you
Just to be near you and to hear you say hello
Being in your presence and hearing your sweet greeting
Would give an ordinary day a lovely glow!
You have the power to make any ordinary day special
But that I'll see you face
I will always yearn to see your face
And thrill to every tender sigh
I cherish and enjoy every gentle sigh you make
While you're in my embrace
When I hold you close
I know it's all a dream, but darling, if it were true
I am aware that it may be just a fantasy, but if it were real
I'd never let a day pass by without my loving you!
I would make sure to express my love for you every single day
