Concert: Ray Apollo Allen and the Apollo 1 Band

Forming the group “Apollo Brothers” in the Sixties, they recorded their first single in 1975. They debuted on television on the Barry Richards’ Rock & Soul Show. In 1985, Ray went solo until 2000 and went on to sing only gospel for the next six years. Ray joined the Orioles in 2006, of which he is still a member. He began to write his own songs and he recorded “The World Today.” The single was released in 2011 on his independent label, PARM Records. Ray has shared the stage with the greatest acts of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s, including The Drifters, The Platters, and Sam & Dave, among many others.
