five takes as mentioned in the EMI boxset booklet). Take 4 is available in
three variations which sometimes are listed as take 5. Listed in this
Sessionography are the full versions (no fade-out). The undubbed take 4 is
also available on ACE CD237. Take 4 (handclaps
overdub) with fade-out is available on Rockstar CD RSRCD 001 and Musidisc
CD-108282.
Take 4 (with handclaps and train noise overdubs): on the Hydra Records LP
BLK 7706 the engineer calls: "8104 H-14 take 5". |

Jewel Akens was born on September 12,
1940, in Houston, TX, and began singing in church as a child. He was also
influenced by the blues joint in his neighborhood. In the late '40s, his
family moved to Los Angeles. In his teens, Akens sang with a group called
the Four Dots. Introduced to Eddie Cochran's manager Jerry Capehart, the
group recorded a single for Freedom Records in 1959. Later Aikens and a
friend, Eddie Daniels, recorded as Akens and Daniels for Capehart's Silver
and Capehart labels. Eddie Cochran played guitar on these sides as well as
Akens' sides for Crest. Akens did background vocals on releases by John
Ashley. The Four Dots also recorded singles
for Liberty ("Don't Wake Up the Kids," "Peace of Mind"),
Bullseye, and Dot Records ("My Dear"). Akens began recording for Herb Newman's Era Records with a group called
the Turnarounds. Newman's teenaged son had written a nursery rhymish song
about the birds and the bees and the label owner wanted Akens to record
it. After some honing, "The Birds and the Bees" was issued and hit number three pop on Billboard's charts in
early 1965. Another nursery rhyme-influenced song, "Georgie Porgie" peaked at number 68 pop
during spring 1965. Though Akens kept recording singles, "The Birds and the Bees" and
"Georgie Porgie" were his only charting singles.
Akens later toured with the Monkees and was still performing in the '90s (based
on Ed Hogan, All Music Guide). |
