The Impalas Booking Agency Profile

Book The Impalas for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
The Impalas were an American doo-wop group in the late 1950s, best known for their hit, Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home)". The group formed in 1958 in Brooklyn, New York, and was composed of lead singer Joe "Speedo" Frazier (born September 5, 1943), Richard Wagner, Lenny Renda, and Tony Carlucci. They were a racially integrated group - Frazier was the only black member. They recorded for the small Hamilton record label, before they were discovered by songwriters and promoters Artie Zwirn and Aristides "Gino" Giosasi, who had written the song "Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home)". Early in 1959 disc jockey Alan Freed heard the group, added his name to the writing credits for the song, and secured them a deal with the MGM Records subsidiary label Cub. The record reached #2 on the U.S. pop chart, #14 on the R&B chart, and #28 in the UK Singles Chart. The song sold over one million copies earning gold disc status..

The final The Impalas booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Impalas charge for an event. An example fee to book The Impalas is in the starting range of $7,500-$14,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Impalas agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Impalas manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Impalas for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Impalas agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Impalas, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Impalas booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Impalas, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
