The Last Words are four
young men, consisting of Johnny Lombardo (lead singer,
tambourine player), Mike Byrnes (lead guitar), Rick
Cook (Drums), Steve “Schroeder” Sechak (organ).
These four men started their career together in New
York. Two of the band members are from New York and
two are from Jersey City. They moved to Florida where
they recorded their debut album.
The impact that The Last Words made on the pop scene
was with their first recording, “Can’t Stop
Loving You.” The excitement and impact that this
had lead to the release of the debut album titled The
Last Words. The sounds they produce, although showing
influences of The Cream and Vanilla Fudge, are strictly
their own.
The Last Words stand out with the most original and
inventive young groups of the day with their great musicianship
and unusual arrangements. Although all the members compose,
most of the unusual arrangements are created by Byrnes
and Sechak.
This project was produced by Brad Shapiro and Steve
Alaimo under the supervision of the well-known Henry
Stone. The recording engineers on the project were Bobby
Dukoff and Larry Fisher.
