Groupe Doo Wop US,
les Cadets ont été formé en 1955 à Los Angeles (Californie). Suivant la nécessité,
la formation prend indifféremment le nom de Cadets ou
Jacks. Le groupe comprenait : Aaron Collins, Willie Davis, Ted Taylor, Lloyd McGraw et Will
"Dub" Jones, remplaçant Bobby Nunn en avril 1958. Ils ont enregistré chez Modern (55-57), Sherwood (60),
Jan-Lar (60) et Firefly (60).
This West
Coast group used two names for recording sessions. They called themselves
the Jacks when doing dates for Modern and
the Cadets on RPM. They began as a gospel group during the late '40s in Los
Angeles. Ted Taylor, Aaron Collins, Lloyd McCraw, and Will Jones were the
original lineup, and the Cadets were among the more popular bands doing R&B
covers. The Cadets' lone hit was "Stranded in the Jungle," which they recorded
for Modern as the Jacks in 1956. It peaked
at number eight R&B and number 15 pop. Davis and Collins would later join the
Flares in 1961, while Taylor would enjoy solo success as a blues, soul, and
gospel vocalist. Jones joined the Coasters
in 1958 and remained there for over a decade. Collins' sisters, Betty and Rose,
also recorded for Modern/RPM as the Teen
Queens.
Style musical : Doo Wop, Rhythm 'n' Blues
