THE FIVE JETS - by Al Kelly

The Five Jets were from Detroit, MI and the majority of the group had
been the Thrillers on Big Town & Thriller  labels.  They were also the
Five Stars on End Records. Joseph Murphy was their lead on all of their
recordings. The group formed in '52 as the Thrillers and recorded for
Joe Von Battle's Thriller label (named for the group) in '53. Several of
the group members left and the group felt they needed to change the name
to theFive Jets. The group signed with Deluxe Records and had five
releases. The members changed with each song with one leaving and
another joining and several rejoined again too. The group's last
recording was for the Fortune label called "I'm  Wandering" but the
plant  personnel made a mistake and pressed the record as the Five
Dollars with "You Fool" on the flip side . The group split after this.
