His first performing act: Achilles and Frank, enjoyed a national
hit with “The Two Peddler Men,” a
song written by Ralph Achilles. The duo appeared nationally on The Joey Bishop Show and headlined
Playboy Clubs Int. They toured colleges
nationally as well as headlining in Southeast Asia on a major tour of
niteclubs. They recorded two more 45rpm
singles, one of which “As We Do Today” reached
the top ten in 15 cities. This was also
an original song by Achilles.
Achilles
and Frank produced and recorded 2,000 radio commercials for a gasoline
company, each of which was identified with their names. These commercials made them household names
in twelve western states for a period of ten years.
The duo added a lady to the act and
became: Frank, Achilles, and Bonnie, F.A.B. COMPANY. FAB COMPANY’s first hit recording was
“Watermelon Is A King’s Delight”, a
song written by Achilles which remained on the active play list of hundreds of
radio stations for over a year and launched the group as one of the top college
draws of the early seventies. FAB COMPANY’S music is still played today on many radio stations across the
nation. They recorded four extremely
successful albums before disbanding in 1982.
At that time RALPH ACHILLES
developed into a stand-up comic.
Although he still peppers his act with his own songs, he has recorded
three albums of comedy.
RALPH
has had his own television special: “On
Stage with Achilles,” and has headlined in niteclubs and major venues
throughout his career. He has performed
for hundreds of corporate shows across the United States such as IBM, AT&T,
Allstate, Coors, and many, many more.
At times he poses as an executive with the company for which he is
performing.
