THE ARTISTICS - by Al Kelly No, The Artistics group which recorded "Life Begins At Sixteen" on S&G wasn't the famous group from Brunswick/Okeh, who had several big hits but an unknown group that nobody seems to know who they are. I tried searching thru the S&G label and came up with a blank. Pretty good record and enjoyed the backup sounds of the bass, he's like in another world or record sometimes. Don't think this is the same S&G that that Jones Boys recorded on in the early 50's (No, not Jimmy Jones's group).
