The Jive Five - by Al Kelly

A really great sounding group who made maybe 4 or 5 hit records out of
22 releases. Many of their records never got the airplay but all were
good records. They got their first break on Les Cahan's Beltone label
with their first outing being "My True Story" in '61. The group from
Brooklyn, NY had one of their members die before they recorded this song
("She's My Girl" - Beltone 2034) and two members left so lead singer 
Eugene Pitt got three members of the Cadillacs, J.R. Bailey, Bobby 
Phillips and Buddy Brooks to record this last release for the Beltone 
label. The release didn't get much air play since they were pushing the 
flip side "Rain", I always thought this was the better side. They then 
changed labels with Cahan's blessing, to the United Artists  where they 
had "I'm A Happy Man" which became a hit. They never had another hit 
after that one and later recorded under the name "Jyve Fyve."
