Bernie suffered something that had to do with his brain. He is in rehab right now for treatment. He left the hospital a couple weeks ago. We do miss him!!!!
Thank you soooo much for the update. I had heard he suffered a stroke and was on life support. I did not want to say for fear I was wrong. I am VERY happy that he is well enough to go home to his family. Love, M.
I am extremely sorry to hear that. Again thank you for letting me know. I used to see Sam the Band with friends and we continued to see Bernie sporadically over the years. I will keep him in my thoughts. M.

Ernie White held a benefit concert at Katmandu in Trenton right before Christmas of 2007. Sam the Band reformed for this one night in support of the "Care for Karen" benefit. Jack Lesley(fighting his own battle with cancer and doing quite well) along with Ernie White, Dennis Carmella, and of course Bernie "the Burn" Dippolito joined in the reunion. Bernie was looking quite well though still recovering. He was absolutely thrilled to be performing. He did an awesome job along with the rest of the band. It was like stepping back twenty years seeing them all perform such STB classics as Slippin Into Darkness, Tight Skirts, Stella, and Emma( I got a big dilemma about my big legged Emma, uh huh... ) and Bernie sang Brand New......just awesome. It was a night to remember. I wish them "All" the best and I hope that Bernie continues with his recovery and I hope that Jack continues to do well also. Ernie, Dennis, Jack and Bernie......Break Out the White Ties an the Tails it's a Party tonight....Keep on Rockin !!!!!!!!!
Is this the same Bernie Dippolito who attended school in Santa Fe, NM early 70's? I don't have any up to date info on him, but I'd love to know what he's up to. Thanks,
I had been trying to reconnect with an old friend of mine "Bernie Dippolito" from Elizabeth NJ.... I knew him when he lived in Santa Fe NM..... He was at that time a vocalist / conga player that traveled with a national touring R&B group called "Zozobra". Does anyone know if this is the same Bernie (Bernardo as he sometimes called himself)
Bernie Dippolito is my father! Feel free to call our home phone, we would be thrilled to hear from some old friends and fans. He has been diagnosed with cancer, but he continues to fight, and even still gigs now and then! 732-573-0241 -Julian Dippolito
