a brief history
Bunny Sigler was born in Philadelphia
in 1941. By the time he met John Madara and Dave White in
1965, he had had minimal success with several small labels
with his songs, “Come on Home” and “Promise
Me.” John and Dave took Bunny into the studio, but it
would take two years before their efforts would put him on
the charts. John came up with the idea to rework some old
Shirley and Lee standards, “Let The Good Times Roll”
and “Feel So Good.” Both songs became hits, and
“Let The Good Times Roll” was a huge success, reaching
22 on the national charts in June of 1967. Several other songs
hit the charts, reworks of The Falcons “You’re So
Fine” and Clyde McPhatter’s “Lovey Dovey.”

John's memories
Bunny
Sigler was probably one of the best male singers
I have ever worked with. Most of his vocals that he performed
were done in one take.
Bunny
and I used to hang out a lot with each other. We hung together
outside the Shubert Building, where my office was, with other
residents Leon Huff, Thom Bell and Linda Creed. Bunny
had a great sense of humor. I remember he used to tease
me about him being half Italian. We laughed a lot together.

on stage with Patti Labelle, another Philadelphian.
