History / Bio

Robert Ippolito, back in the day, was the one who introduced the group to Stan R. Krause at Catamount Records.  Next to Ippy is William Jones, Jonesie, one of the main members of the Royal Counts. Jonesie  passed in 2008, he's now singing for the lord. We are blessed to have his son Bo stepped in.  The Royal Counts live on.
