Biography:

Lakewood Senior High School singing group formed in 1958 and composed by James Bell, James Gibson, Fred Green, Stanley Samuels and Jimmy Waters. In 1958, they has been entertaining high school students at talent shows and school dance.

Unfortunately, I don't think they are the Jaytones managed by Julius Dixon who recorded at the same time for Timely and Brunswick records. Some sources say The JayTones on Timely and Brunswick were an Italian American trio. If anyone has information about the group, don't hesitate to contact me at:
