Frank D’Angelo’s Rendition of Motown Classic ‘MY GIRL’ Captures Hearts of Canadians
Mr. Frank D’Angelo, CEO and Chairman of Steelback Brewery
-- one of Canada’s newest and fastest growing brewers -- presented The Breast Cancer Society of
Canada (BCSC) with a $10,000 donation this week. The official presentation to BCSC President Paddy
Roach was made during half time at the Toronto Argonauts / Winnipeg Blue Bombers game Monday,
August 1st before an audience of 27,000 spectators.
The $10,000 donation was made possible through the net proceeds of 5,000 copies of the single CD ‘MY
GIRL’, featuring a modern-day recording of the Motown classic performed by Frank D’Angelo, Canada’s
only singing CEO. Frank’s musical talents were also highlighted at the game as he sang the national
anthem, a performance he will be repeating at the Eastern Conference Semi-finals.
The CD was recorded as a dedication to Frank’s longtime friend Paula Boxser and all women like her who
are survivors of breast cancer. “Paula’s courage during her four year battle with breast cancer is
inspiring. I wanted to dedicate this song to all women who are courageously facing one of the toughest
fights of their lives,” said D'Angelo.
The ‘MY GIRL’ CD is still available at selected Loblaws stores across Canada and retails for $5.00.
Steelback is a private company, it currently has nine products available through The Beer Store;
