Rydel known for "Wild One" and "Volare", also appeared in the movie Bye Bye Birdie in 1963.
Dave appeared prominently in the 1956 Alan Freed film Don't Knock the Rock, and worked for a while as the studio band and music director on the Ernie Kovacs TV and radio shows in Philadelphia. Next Appell and the Applejacks were playing in Las Vegas, but they soon began to pine for their hometown and returned to Philadelphia, where they started working for Cameo Records, a label founded by Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe.
