The Cadets & The Jacks: The Cadets & The Jacks - The Complete Releases 1955-57 (2-CD)
Cette collection de 52 titres de haute qualité comprend tous les disques publiés par The Cadets & T au cours de leur carrière relativement courte mais très active, depuis leurs débuts en 1955 jusqu'en 1957, date à laquelle le label Modern connut des difficultés financières et cessa ses activités, et où les artistes passèrent à autre chose. Avec la gamme habituelle de styles vocaux au sein de la formation initiale de 5 membres composée d'Aaron Collins, Willie Davis, Austin 'Ted' Taylor, Lloyd McCraw et Will 'Dub' Jones, le groupe a eu plusieurs chanteurs principaux différents, ce qui le rend très polyvalent et capable d'aborder une variété de répertoires avec facilité, rendant cette collection musicalement très intéressante et agréable. C'est un must pour tout fan de Doowop, car il donne un aperçu complet de leur carrière et comprend des pistes bonus d'enregistrements où ils ont accompagné d'autres artistes de leur label, notamment Donna Hightower Young Jessie et Richard Berry.

The Cadets
Stranded In The Jungle
Modern Records boss Joe Bihari got the most out of a new group that his L.A.-based company had signed. On Modern, they were billed as The Cadets. On its sister RPM logo, they were The Jacks. They scored hits under both sobriquets.
From the outset, the former L.A. gospel group specialized in covering breaking R&B hits: their '55 debut as The Cadets saw them waxing Nappy Brown's Don't Be Angry. They were loaded with fine lead tenors; in addition to Aaron Collins and future soul star Ted Taylor, Willie Davis fronted The Jacks' first outing, a cover of fellow L.A. outfit The Feathers' Why Don't You Write Me? that proved an R&B smash in the summer of '55 (you'll find The Jacks' version on our previous volume).
The Biharis issued a torrent of releases under both names, timely covers (The Marigolds' Rollin' Stone, The Willows' Church Bells May Ring, even a personalized treatment of Elvis' Heartbreak Hotel starring bass singer Will 'Dub' Jones) as well as originals. Baritone Lloyd McCraw was replaced near year's end by ex-Flairs tenor Thomas 'Pete' Fox; Taylor went solo in the spring of '56. Then they picked up on the zany Stranded In The Jungle, a recent release by another L.A. group, The Jayhawks, on the Flash label. The Jayhawks' James Johnson co-wrote it.
"It's something he sung around New York. It was a little talking thing that they did on the street corners,"says former Jayhawk Carlton Fisher."Then we had another lady named Ernestine Smith. She came up with the music on that 'Baby, Baby' thing. We all worked together and put it together, but in those days, a lot of times you tried to delegate one guy in the group instead of putting everybody's name on it."
The Cadets' Stranded In The Jungle was more polished than that of The Jayhawks. Jones intoned the jungle narrative while Collins and Davis harmonized on the swinging doings back home. Prentice Moreland, former Dominoes high tenor, immortalized himself with a "Great googa mooga, let me outta here!"on one break that wasn't part of The Jayhawks' rendition. A head-to-head battle ensued. The Jayhawks' original came out in May and cracked 'Billboard's' R&B hit parade on July 14. The Cadets' cover was issued in late June and entered the charts a week after The Jayhawks. When the smoke cleared, The Cadets barely won, topping out at #4 on two of the magazine's three R&B charts and making an impressive #15 pop showing. The Jayhawks nipped at their heels with a #9 R&B/#18 pop peak.
"I wasn't mad, but naturally we were disappointed,"admits Fisher.
The Collins-led Let's Make Up was The Jacks' last RPM release in mid-'56, but The Cadets endured to the end of 1957 (they had the first issued version of Johnny Watson's Gangster Of Love as the Jones-led Love Bandit). Jones fared best after The Cadets/Jacks broke up, replacing Bobby Nunn as The Coasters' bass. Collins and Davis joined The Flairs, who changed the spelling of their name to The Flares. The Jayhawks morphed into The Vibrations, who scored a string of their own hits.
