Eugene Pitt, Richard Harris, Thurmon Prophet, Jerome Hanna and Norman Johnson comprised this American doo wop group. The quintet formed in Brooklyn, New York, in the late 1950s.
The Jive Five experienced its only major hit, in 1961, when “My True Story” peaked at No.3 on the American Billboard’s pop singles chart and spent three weeks atop that country’s rhythm and blues chart. While the group was unable to attain such dizzying heights again it continued to record and perform, for decades, utilising differing personnel.
The names of more of my favourite recordings can be found in the suggested playlists. I shall be adding to this list from time to time.
