The history of American popular music is full of enough unexpected second acts to silence F. Scott Fitzgerald forever, and W.C. Schalda is a fascinating example of an artist who has been given a second chance at a successful career. In the early '60s, Schalda (then known as Billy Schalda) was part of a doo wop group named the Montereys, who cut a pair of singles, one of which, "Step Right Up" b/w "Face in the Crowd," would fetch three-figure prices from vocal group collectors decades after the fact. Parenthood and other grown-up responsibilities led to Schalda giving up music as a career, but his three sons picked up the music bug from their dad and ended up working with acts like Charles Bradley & the Extraordinaires, Paul & the Tall Trees, and the Budos Band. Now W.C. Schalda and his sons Paul Schalda, Carmine Schalda, and William Schalda, Jr. have formed a vocal group known as the Sha La Das, with Dad on lead vocals, and they've stepped forward with their first album, 2018's Love in the Wind.
