\n\nEARLY YEARS<\/strong>\n\nIn the early days Donnelly was the original bass player for the band Synch<\/a> formed in 1985, with Jimmy Harnen<\/a> as the drummer. The band’s other members were lead vocalist Lou Butwin, guitarist Dave Abraham, bassist James A. Donnelly (who is currently a prominent figure in broadcasting and podsafe music movement[1]<\/a><\/sup>), and keyboardist Chuck Yarmey. Although not the “official” lead vocalist for the group, Harnen was afforded the chance to sing lead on his own composition. “Where Are You Now”<\/a> was first released on the independent label Micki Records in 1986. After receiving local airplay in the Wilkes-Barre market, Synch got signed to Columbia Records, and “Where Are You Now” was re-recorded and re-released as a single, later also appearing in a live version on Synch’s lone album, …Get the Feelin’<\/em>. By the time this album was recorded, only Harnen and Yarmey remained from the original line-up, with Harnen now the lead vocalist.[2]<\/a><\/sup> The single only peaked at #77 on the Billboard<\/em> Hot 100<\/a>, leading to the band being dropped from Columbia.\n\n
