My mentor is Jerry! He is my favorite white guy in a black quartet also. As well as my favorite Wisconsinite...period! I would have to listen to both of them side by side, but as far as white leads, Johnny Maestro hands down for me. I know Frankie Valli and Dion were much more famous but that darn Johnny has a voice that cuts thru steel!   I can't wait to hear the first cuts of the Gospel Flamingo messengers though! Jerry, you may be back on the road again!
