You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:The Gaylords 1960.JPG|thumb|200px|The group in 1960.]]
'''The Gaylords''' were an [[United States|American]] [[singing]] [[trio (music)|trio]], consisting of '''Ronald L. Fredianelli''' (June 12, 1930 – January 25, 2004), '''Bonaldo "Burt" Bonaldi''' (July 6, 1926 – May 10, 2017),<ref name="obi"/> and '''Don Rea''' (December 9, 1928 – June 30, 2017).<ref name="obi2"/> Fredianelli joined the U. S. Army in the 1950s, and was replaced by '''Bill Christ'''.

Fredianelli, Bonaldi and Rea were all born in [[Detroit]], [[Michigan]]. Together they formed the Gaylords (originally '''The Gay Lords''') in Detroit in 1949. The group's name was decided upon after a chance encounter with Marcus Wren.

In the 1950s the group had a number of Italian-flavored [[hit record|hits]] on the [[Mercury Records]] label, often consisting of a song partly sung in [[Italian language|Italian]] and partly in [[English language|English]]. Their most successful release was "[[Tell Me You're Mine]]", which had sold over one million copies by 1958.<ref name="The Book of Golden Discs">((cite book

))</ref>  "Tell Me You're Mine" reached #3 on the US chart.<ref name="The Book of Golden Discs"/> They also recorded comedy-novelty material, like "Love I You."

Fredianelli rejoined Mercury in 1954 after his military service, and, as [[Ronnie Gaylord]], recorded as a solo artist (charting with his hit song "Cuddle Me"). Bonaldi, Rea, and Christ continued recording as The Gaylords for Mercury until 1964. After their recording contract lapsed, Rea and Christ left the group. Fredianelli and Bonaldi continued to perform as "Gaylord and Holiday"; Bonaldi used the professional name of Burt Holiday, and adopted it legally in 1976. The team stayed together until 2003, when Fredianelli's failing health curtailed further work.

Fredianelli died on January 25, 2004, in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]], at age 73.

Bonaldi still performed with Ron Gaylord, Jr., Ronnie Gaylord's oldest son (the other son being rock guitarist [[Tony Fredianelli]]) until his death on May 10, 2017, in Carson City, Nevada, at age 90.<ref name="obi">((cite web |url=https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/rgj/obituary.aspx?n=bonaldo-americo-bonaldi-burt&pid=185374225&fhid=15274&__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=7889813aae4af26e3b376e44f8af9930d7ed82c6-1622810607-0-AVI3F7apxBBmrpufo8FMHfdzQz6DnlnOLP5IqQjTnvTA8VV9DBlfUayVDPEC6PMu-Ox9cpvSGwKWvG3N-Nc4-KNet7vONAsfWyb1hNIvoWbOodP-KUJB3cG10EhifTUArqXoDCQ67GifzxoKlhFcAXT2pkgot9VaGUmDDgBePq4kQlOnEnAZI-T5U0i_O2u408kO2fG2oCxdC0VsOXpIe_YHuTN5RmZ82l2C7jG0BF9aUEXLL9MGcvq2VGPPgXHkEsipFanLktBMe1i_BDiNcX3LDpgi8CscPwOb-5oY0s3dnpXtFITCOdWtqDZWf5aLbvbsBcTQNeuz7kKfofJbHVEt0CkGiOv6Gb0eaZTtGlOdR4y4uU7Cql5xw7WTLaIkrrKOniU3o31-AltfmciFr91XDOZfY5h0UlPGMzcZfEf2B4IU2wNEcf1Hg66tUGzwJQsRq4f2JITBlByiqZG7iO_yK2wrSFDiso_i5d3DUwROaASHDVkeTwXO2GqiP8t_gOFqQnzHbUtdC2i1-iWkK4gOEbv58Y7sk22p1A_j9WcMwhzhcnD8notGEDgcwS4E3Y5zLAWmaYj75Ij4l241Xsk3G7KqHG5p9uFfUntvH3r61XbNqxZh0a9P9vIHGYkuwIhqhNB20Lza3qnxDI7cyb5vs6AmX28yT2G6Qq-TlGXgNPgA0DbRw6hntmZSr1bKnD6z1rEkJ5bhm2-mwqf0HrW50uXbjqJw0NeGdPTfT_glL40WKK60MRQR327kCuMwZ-HAuBAzWQt69E-ewcPrmeY|title=Bonaldo Americo (Burt) Bonaldi 1926 - 2017|last=|first=|date=May 14, 2017|accessdate=June 4, 2021|publisher=Mason Valley News))</ref>
