RB Express
New Jersey's Premier 40's, 50's, and 60's singing group!

Ray (The Senator) Block, Baritone, Second and First Tenor.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., raised in Bayonne, N.J., and currently residing in
Warren, N.J. Married (Carol) with two children and two grandchildren. I
have been singing since the late fifties and have been a member of
Vintage, The Adlibs, The Bonaires, East River Drive, Occasionally 5,
Reunion, and Mixed Company. I have been influenced by The Flamingos,
Shep and The Limelites, Ruby and The Romantics, and countless others.
My vocal range enables me to sing bass up to first tenor with an
occasional lead. Although primarily an acappella harmony singer, I have
been privileged to enjoy the talents of The RB Express utilizing musical
tracks to bring our sound to the public. I look forward to the continuance
of our working schedule and the various venues it brings to us. Harmony
and vocal group singing are what bring me much pleasure.

Richard (Rick) Davis, Lead, Second Tenor, Baritone.

Born in Livingston, N.J., currently residing in Middletown, N.J. Married
(Pettria) with five children and one grandchild. I am a recent member of
vocal group harmony, but have been influenced by the vocal groups of
the fifties and sixties. In particular, the styles of Elvis Presley, Neil
Diamond, Billy Joel, and Jackson Browne have been instrumental in
shaping my performances and enabling me to attain success as a lead by
incorporating their various styles. Being flexible in the harmony structure
of The RB EXpress has brought about a sense of satisfaction and
growth. Performing is my love and harmony brings a smile to my face.

Wilbur (Wil) Zosche, Baritone and Second Tenor

Born in Newark, N.J. and currently residing in Toms River,N.J. I am single
with two daughters. I have been performing since my twenties with
various rock bands and local vocal groups. I love singing with music but
acappella will always be a special love for me. I have enjoyed groups
such as Boston, The Beach Boys,and The Four Seasons. I sing primarily
baritone with The RB Express but also dabble in the second tenor spot.
Group harmony is my primary focus. Continuing to grow vocally and
performing the music that has special meaning for me is my wish for
today and the years to come.My relationship with the members of the RB
Express, as well as the opportunity to meet singers in the various venues
that we are privileged to be a part of, has been a dream come true for me.

Michael (Mike) Del Franco, First Tenor and Lead

Born in Texas, raised in Crown Heights, Brooklyn and currently residing
in Edison, N.J. Married (Pam) with two children and one grandchild. I
have been singing for over forty years and have been influenced by The
Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Elton John, Dave Mason, Steely Dan,
Johnny Maestro, The Duprees, and The Four Seasons. As you can see, I
love music! I play guitar and have been a part of various local rock cover
groups. I enjoy recording at home and experimenting in harmony
arrangements. I joined RB Express in 2005 and have been primarily
singing first tenor and leads. Falsetto tenor is also within my range.
Singing in shows with people who have been my primary influences
coupled with the vocal harmonies of RB Express have provided me with
endless pleasure. I hope to be able to continue to grow vocally and
maintain the level of participation in the music scene.

Oklahoma State University. My range is three octaves, but bass is
my game. As a songwriter, I have penned two hit songs in the
Country/Western genre, (Coca Cola Cowboy, and New Patches),
both sung by Mel Tillis. Furthering my songwriting abilities is also
one of my wishes. Creating The RB Express, meeting countless
people and performing in all types of venues has been a rewarding
experience.
