Vincent Montenegro, better known by his stage name Vinnie Monte, was an early rock n' roll crooner and teen idol who first appeared on vinyl in the mid-1950s. Monte was in the same league as early pop and rock n' rollers Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Bobby Rydell, Billy Vee, and Dion. The music he made in the late 1950s appealed to the teenage crowd and he recorded several memorable singles. A perfect example is his classic 1958 single, InchA Love Of My OwnInch b/w InchAlways,Inch originally released on the New York based Decanter tag, presented here newly remastered for this exclusive and finally made available in the digital domain.

A popular teen idol during the early rock n' roll era of the mid-1950s through the early 1960s, Vinnie Monte was a talented singer with an elastic voice that was equally effective on both syrupy ballads and energetic rockers. The singles he recorded for various labels of the era are highly coveted in early rock n' roll and teen pop collectors' circles. Though he is not as well-known as his contemporaries like Dion, Bobby Rydell or Paul Anka, Monte certainly made his mark and deserves wider recognition for his contributions to the genre. Presented here is his classic 1959 single InchSummer SpreeInch b/w InchI'll Walk You HomeInch for the New York City based Decanter tag featuring a lively rocker with vocal chorus on the A side, and a tender teenage ballad on the flip. The single has been newly remastered for this exclusive and finally made available in the digital domain.
