THE LADDERS - by Al Kelly

The Ladders, who lived on 115th St. in Manhattan  lived in the same
apartment building as the Bopchords. The group was led by Johnny Jackson 
and his brother Douglas was the bass singer. They were managed by Les 
Cooper, who was a member of the Empires and Whirlers plus  nvolved in 
writing, producing and even swept the floor. Les had a big hit with "Wiggle
Wobble" in '63. Les brought the group to meet Danny Robinson, who owned
the Holiday and Vest labels. Danny signed them and the group had both of
their releases with Danny. By the way the second release was on Vest,
named after Danny's wife Vesta. There were some unreleased songs that
later came out on a couple albums.
