Joseph R. Massoni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph R. Massoni became famous for appearing in an episode of American Bandstand in 1977 of which a clip of him dancing is commonly played on the Jumbotron of the TD Banknorth Garden during Boston Celtics games. Typically the clip is only played in the 4th quarter when a Celtic victory is assured or immediately following a Celtics victory. Joseph stands out in the clip because of his particularly smooth dancing moves and his prominent T-Shirt with "Gino" written on it. The T-shirt is from a 1976 Gino Vannelli tour. The Wall Street Journal identified Jeseph R. Massoni as the dancer known to Celtics fans simply as Gino and confirmed that he passed away in 1990[1].
