Funny but True. Richie was a lead singer and Jon was a guitarist.

I've always reviewed Jon's abilities to be a lead singer as somewhat controversial. Some sources say that Jon was a born star and judging by these performances, I agree. He sounds like such a leader up there and his delivery is so confident with that raw vocal. On the flip side, others (including his father) stated that he was just ok. I guess when you reflect back to an unknown kid and compare him to what was current, as well as, the up and coming talent, the competition was a little challenging, unlike this crap we have today.

Don't forget, this is 1979. Before the 80's....If you think back to what the music scene was like during that time, heck what the world was like during that time, these performances really stand out as to what the future would bring.
