Going back even further in the past, he laid down guitar chops for 70s acts Neil Sedaka, Art Garfunkel and Diana Ross. However, until now he had not struck out on his own. Thanks to a big push from the president of Frontiers Records, Serafino Perugino, a fire was lit under him. So with the help of his past melodic rock contacts, this songwriter/sessions guitarist spawned his first solo outing. And with that, Avalon, aka The Richie Zito project was born. Featured on the album are Eddie Money, legendary producer Giorgio Moroder, Joe Lynn Turner, Eric Martin, Richie Kotzen, Joey Carbone, Hugo, Danny Vaughn, Philip Bardowell and Joseph Williams. Joe Lynn Turner sings on "Is He Better Than Me".
