Al Alberts has died.

Al Alberts, 87, who put countless singing kids on the air on his Philly phenomenal show Al Alberts Showcase, died this morning in Florida.

He and his wife, Stella, were married in 1953 and lived in Cape May for many years -- hence, his ditty "On the Way to Cape May."

They moved to Florida in 2001.

The show helped launch the careers of such Philly-bred performers as Andrea McArdle and Sister Sludge.

Born Al Albertini in Chester, he and friend Dave Mahoney founded The Four Aces, which sang such classics as "Three Coins in the Fountain" and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing." He was a warbler of many a ditty.

Besides his wife, he is survived by sons Al Jr. and Chris.

Funeral arrangements are not complete.

The very day he signed on to play Clouseau, I believe.
