Yes it was Ronnie I’s store. I think his daughter tried running it after his recent passing; but it didn’t work out for her. Back in the 70’s when I was collecting Doo-Wops, I would go to his store with several hundred dollars and spend a good portion of my Saturday buying records off his collector wall. I once met Noland Strong of the Diablos at Ronnie I’s, he was recording some sounds for one of the NJ record labels. I think the label was based in Jersey City, not sure.

Nice memories! Ronnie I hosted a show I attended at Lead East (Labor Day weekend a few years ago at the Parsippany Hilton). Like The Jesters version of The Wind a bit more than The Diablos version. Good show Fridays 7-10 PM on 1250 WMTR-AM called Doo-Wop Drive (http://www.wmtram.com/)
