THE JACKS, aka THE CADETS, from L.A., were the Modern/RPM group ofĀ labelsā top vocal group in the mid-50s.
Although both groups featured identical personnel, their lead singers differed; Willie Davis usually led The Jacks, while Aaron Collins and/or Dub Jones frontedĀ The Cadets.
They also backed artists like Donna Hightower, Young Jessie and Richard Berry, whilst various group members later recorded as The Flares, The Peppers andĀ The Thor-Ables.
This unique compilation traces the evolution of the group, and presents the very best of their output between 1955-62, across nine different record labels,Ā featuring their hits āWhy Donāt You Write Me?ā (as The Jacks), āStranded In TheĀ Jungleā (The Cadets) and āFoot Stompinā (Part 1)ā (The Flares). This body of workĀ has never been thus compiled before, making for a unique package, and several of these sides are making their CD debuts.
