(L-R): Steve Conte, now of Crown Jewels, Ida Langsam, then of Public I Publicity Service, Richie Fontana, and Joe Lynn Turner of Deep Purple/Rainbow
(December 1985).
It was around this time that Richie and Steve were often out on the town together, going to clubs, visiting with musicians, and imbibing along the way. In other words, having a blast. This photo was taken at a New York City East Village night club called The Saint, formerly the legendary Fillmore East where, as a teenager,
Richie was a frequent patron.
