Joseph Lorenzo Wise Releases 'DATEZiLLA' The Date Review on Christmas Day Image

On a beautiful afternoon in St. Thomas Virgin Islands, after a tasty barbeque lunch and shopping, the woman who was my Dream Date disappeared into the crowd of shoppers and tourists, without a trace. The chaperone was alarmed and shocked that we could not find Seneca anywhere. She had been acting a little weird at lunch and she seemed bothered by the itinerary the show had planned for us, which included a boat trip and lunch on St. John the next day. After an hour of waiting and searching, we returned to The Frenchman's Reef.... Without Seneca.

In 1987 Joseph Lorenzo returned to Los Angeles to shoot an update episode on "The Dating Game". The Date Review was hosted by Jeff MacGregor and the chaperone Annie Drummond also appeared on the show. The tales from the Islands and the shenanigans that ensued all come out in the interview. The three different points of view make for a comical exchange with MacGregor tying to keep it all together.

Wise, who turns 60 on December 17, 2017 is celebrating his birthday at Fuego at the Hotel Maya, in Long Beach, with musicians from Nicaragua. "I am so grateful to be 60" Wise says, "This Music Video is really a celebration of the milestone, I have so many friends who didn't make it this far." Wise says he has plans to release a variety of new videos in 2018, on a variety of topics, but one of the videos will be "In the Kitchen".

The Bachelor #1, Hollywood Fantasy Love music videos are thirty years in the making. The footage is from the live tapings and on the Date Review, you are hearing from Seneca herself, her story. "This is so amazing, I never thought about making music videos out of it, but after the Las Vegas tragedy, something spoke to me and said do "Bachelor #1 for the Holidays".

The music video will be released worldwide on Christmas Day! "It's been a challenge, the footage is very old, recorded off the air, and survived years in a storage bin in Queens". The music video also features Chandra Jo Armstead, (daughter of Joshie Jo Armstead, one of the original Ikettes) on vocals. Wise who has released 1 album "SONGBOOK", eight singles, and numerous music videos also appears in "The Grand Romantic" a short film, playing a vocal coach to "Fun's" Nate Reuss. In early 2017 Joseph Lorenzo received a grant from the Grammy Foundation, The Recording Academy and MusiCares.

"DATEZiLLA" THE BACHELOR #1 DATE REVIEW, new music video by Joseph Lorenzo Wise, reveals the details of what happened in the Virgin Islands on the Dream Date on "THE DATING GAME", featuring the hit single "Hollywood Fantasy Love", music and lyrics by Joseph Lorenzo Wise. Official Release Date, 12/25/2017 Christmas Day.
