“...Franco Paletta and The Stingers are swingers and slingers. Rapid rhythm, pounding piano, hot harp and ferocious vocals......
...With his polished tone - on harp and vocals, listening to Franco is double the pleasure...
.....be ready to shake, rattle and roll like you've never shook, rattled and rolled before!
"HIRED!"....is all I'd be able to say.
......As he has for the last forty five minutes, Franco is once again blowing me away with his strong - yet smooth and soulful vocals. William Clarke, Rod Piazza, Darrell Nulisch you now have company as my favorite vocalists.
"Can't Kick Love" - a sure candidate for the 2011 Blewzzy Award.”
