One of the Fascinators’ competitors and contemporaries had been the Clusters, who have been close friends of Passalacqua’s, as well as the Markels, another Bushwick-based group, who have scored a modest strike in 1958 with “Notice of Appreciate.” Once the Fascinators split up in 1961, Passalacqua installed with Joe Gugliaro and Joe Agugliaro (who have been cousins) from the Clusters, and Donnie Milo, previously from the Markels, essentially developing a reconstituted Clusters.
