Teen Expo: The Cleopatra Label
From a basement in New Jersey, Tommy Falcone remade himself into a DIY Phil Spector. From 1962 to 1970, he founded and
ran Cleopatra Records, discovered and mentored young Garden State talent, wrote songs and produced wild studio effects,
and quit his day job to promote it all himself. Trained as an accordionist, Falcone had a whirlwind imagination and an
omnivorous approach to genre, expressed through acts like
the Centuries, the Tabbys, Johnny Silvio, the Inmates, Bernadette Carroll, the Hallmarks, Vickie & the Van Dykes, the
Shandillons, Eugene Viscione, the Shoestring, and more. Cleopatra became a time-capsule of every 1960s pop style
imaginable-garage rock, psychedelia, surf, girl groups, soul, novelties, exotica, even a crooner-a kaleidoscope of sound
in search of the ever-elusive hit record.
