George Lesser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Lesser (born 1932) was a member of the Tyrones, a popular Philadelphia rock and roll group of the 50s that recorded a number of hit songs including "Blast Off" and "I'm Shook" and appeared singing "Blast Off" in the film Let's Rock. Part of Bill Haley's talent and booking stable, the Tyrones recorded a number of Haley-published songs. It is also believed that several Comets including Frank Beecher took part in the recording sessions, which were later "cleaned up" by Johnny Grande and Billy Williamson. Several Tyrones classics were used on the soundtrack of the animated film The Iron Giant (1999).
