Pam Del Franco
Pam has been singing and performing on stage since childhood, where she appeared in many school and church productions.
She was a member of the All-State Chorus two years during high school, and later appeared in a myriad of community theater and off-Broadway plays.
Pam performed with a top-40 cover band in her early twenties, and has entered singing contests around the country. From one yearly contest in Nevada, Pam has netted the top prize four times in her category, as well as twice in the duet category.
Since forming The Del Angels in 2007, Pam's biggest thrill is to have been able to sing with, and/or open for, many of the original group members from the 50's and 60's.

Tracey Stewart
Growing up as an only child, Tracey loved to fantasize and play pretend. She found that creating characters and different personalities was fun, and kept her imagination active.
These childhood antics eventually led Tracey to a theatrical career, one which began over fifteen years ago.
Tracey has written, directed, and produced 15 stage plays, which have been showcased in venues such as the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the historical Newark Symphony Hall, and at other theaters throughout New Jersey.
Tracey's writing talents brought her to audition for Oprah, in hopes of becoming the “Next Big Star”. She is a published author, with a romantic novel, "Gimme Back My Soul", available on Amazon.com, and at Barnes & Noble. Tracey is currently working on her next novel, "Soul Confessions of Women", to be released in the Winter of 2014.
A multi-faceted talent, Tracey also loves to entertain others by sharing her gift of song, and has performed background vocals for Darlene Love, Dorinda Clark Cole, and Karen Clark Sheard, just to name a few. She joined The Del Angels in November of 2012.
Tracey's favorite song is performed by McFadden and Whitehead, and is called, “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now”. Tracey says this is her personal testimony; as she has no intention of stopping in her artistic endeavors...because there is much more to come!

Clinteeyah (Clem) Brooks-
Born and raised in Newark, N.J., Clem began singing in church at age 11, but, didn't realize she could really sing until a few years later.
It was her grandmother who recognized Clem's amazing talent, and strongly urged her to go to Newark Arts High School (the same high school from which Connie Francis graduated).
Upon completion from Arts High, Clem went on to attend Penn State University, after which she toured throughout Europe with Sacred Sounds Productions, performing in the show "Sister Act".
Clem and Tracey have been dear friends for over 20 years, and Clem appeared in one of Tracey's theater productions at Newark Symphony Hall. Both ladies have appeared on the David Letterman Christmas Special, three years running, as hand-picked members of the choir backing up Darlene Love.
Other singers Clem has appeared with include Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Dorinda Clark Cole, Twinkie Clark Terrell, and Karen Clark Sheard. Clem joined The Del Angels in November of 2012.

Michael Del Franco
Pam's husband, Mike, has always been the biggest supporter of her dreams and aspirations. And because he has been instrumental in assuring the continued success of The Del Angels, he is considered an honorary member of the group.
A singer/musician in his own right, Mike currently performs primarily with the doo wop/oldies group, Jersey Jukebox, singing lead, first tenor, and falsetto tenor.
When Mike isn't busy performing with Jersey Jukebox, he travels with The Del Angels as their sound man, and provides a fourth dimension to their harmony lines. He also sings lead on signature songs from artists such as Lou Christie, The Four Seasons, The Tokens, and Larry Chance and The Earls (with the Del Angels backing him up, of course).
Mike has been singing for over 40 years, performing with a number of rock cover groups as a rhythm guitarist in his younger days, and was a member of the oldies group, The RB Express, from 2005-2012. Mike also enjoys recording music at home, and experimenting with harmony arrangements.
Among his many influences, Mike cites The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Elton John, Dave Mason, Steely Dan, Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge, The Duprees, and The Four Seasons.
Singing in shows with artists who have been his primary influences, coupled with performing vocal harmonies with Jersey Jukebox and The Del Angels, has provided Mike with endless pleasure. He hopes to be able to continue to grow as a vocalist, and to maintain the same level of participation in the music scene that he has thus far.
