Paul McCartney covered Charlie's hit 'Fabulous' for the 2000 DVD release: 'Live At The Cavern Club'. In May 2004 Charlie received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Electric Factory from the Philly Music Award committee.

The (Original) Orlons of Philadelphia had some dance and novelty gems in the early '60s for Cameo-Parkway. The "The Wah Watusi" in 1962, was a number five R&B and number two Pop hit, while the follow-ups, "Don't Hang Up" and "South Street," were also Top Ten R&B and pop successes. In 2003 the Orlons were featured in the PBS TV special 'At The Drive-In' with Fabian.

The Soul Survivors popularity grew especially in the Atlantic City - Philadelphia area & they attracted the attention of record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Their meeting resulted in the recording of "Expressway To Your Heart". In polls taken by the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia's City Paper, "Expressway" was voted the number one record ever to come out of Philadelphia. Today Charlie & Richie Ingui have released a new Soul Survivors CD titled 'Released'.

During a PBS Special, fellow Bluenote, Bill Spratley, introduced Gil as the answer to all their unanswered questions.
