The Boystown Gang

Would be interested to know if anyone has any background info on the Boystown Gang. Such as who the members were and where they hail from.

Don't really know anything about them except they brought out some great tracks in the early 80's.

If I remember correctly the first lead singer was Cynthia Manley and she was replaced by Jackson Moore.

I don't where they are from or what they are doing now.

I believe one of the two male singers passed away from AIDS.

Boys Town Gang was Cynthia Manley or Bill Motley's studio group featuring Cynthia. Cynthia was the lead vocalist. When "Cruising the Streets" came out a few more people were added so they could go on tour. Cynthia was disatisified over things and quite. As a result she was replaced with Jackson Moore, Tommy Morley, Robin, Don and Craig. Then after a shake up all that was left was Jackson Moore, Bruce Carleton, and Tommy Morley. Tommy Morley was diagnosed with AIDS and died in 1984.

The last recording I have by the BOYSTOWN GANG is a track called "WANTED FOR MURDER" (1989?).. On the front cover it looks like Jackson Moore but not sure about the two guys..?

Which one is he? Was he the one with longer blonde hair or the shorter one? Anyway I thought both were cute...but didn't have an inkling to what their names were!!!!
