As the British Invasion continued and folk-rock exploded in 1965, Pittsburgh swelled with pride when Turtle Creek’s The Vogues, a vocal quartet formerly known as the Val-Airs, scored nationally with a cover of Petula Clark’s “You’re the One” on Herb Cohen’s and Nick Cenci’s local Co & Ce label. The follow-up, “Five O’Clock World,” proved even more enduring. -
Bob Dylan has been inspiring musicians for generations and Pittsburgh singer and guitarist Connor Parente is among them, at least metaphorically, on his new song “Going Electric.” -
