about the precisions
The Magic is in the Music
With roots as a Doo Wop vocal group from New York City that featured Robert Brooks, Alfred Boulding Jr., David Butler, Michael Cancillo and Michael Pellegrino, the Precisions hit the national record charts in 1962 with their enchanting version of the Gershwin classic song "Someone to Watch Over Me" on Golden Crest Records. Golden Crest Records was a pioneering independent record, and the only leading record label based in Long Island, NY. The Precisions also paid homage to the mysterious Queen of the Nile in 1962 with their recording "Cleopatra" on Golden Crest Records. This song was featured in the soundtrack of the 2023 motion picture, "Next Goal Wins", a heartwarming comedy about the hapless American Samoa national soccer team.
