Biography :

This Jumping Jacks group formed in North Carolina in 1942. They practiced for quite some time before making local appearances. More than ten years passed before they made a recording for the Apollo subsidiary label, Lloyds. It should also be noted that they were from the same neighborhood as the Five Royales. This group called themselves the Jumping Jacks because of their exuberance on stage. This was a very demonstrative and dramatic quartet.

They recorded four songs in April 1953 but only two sides  were released.Unfortunately, neither of the two released songs did well and the group obviously felt that changing their name to the Romeos might change their luck.
