Pat Galo

Pasquale Galasso A.K.A. Pat Galo was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1938 and is considered by many to be one of the greatest Lounge Entertainers of his generation. After learning to play the trumpet and joining several bands in school Pat Galo later formed a five piece band called the Hi-Lads. The group utilized synchronized dance moves, comedy routines, and did impressions. So successful was the band that the Hi-Lads earned the honor of Las Vegas Lounge Act Of The Year several times. The group, and Pat as a solo artist, signed recording contracts with Columbia, Epic, RCA, and Charlie Parker records. Working with some of the best song writers and arrangers of the 1960's & 1970's they produced many singles during this period. They appeared many times on Ed Sullivan and Mike Douglas shows, and others. The Hi-Lads eventually became Pat Galo & The Hi-Lads and finally the Pat Galo Show. Blessed with movie star looks, a golden velvet voice, comedic timing, dead on impressions, and being a trumpet virtuoso Pat Galo did it all. After many years of commanding astounding salaries for his legendary sold out shows Pat Galo tired of the road and the revolving band members and decided to go solo. He still can be found performing all over the New York metropolitan area. A screenplay written by Larry Cutrone on Pat Galo's life story and a deal to bring it to the screen is currently in development.
