Artist: Jayhawks
Author: James Johnson/Ernestine Smith
Label: Flash
Year: 1956
Band from L.A. with coauthor James Johnson. Label hopping name changers: at Chess they became The Vibrations, at Arvee The Marathons. Not to be confused with the nineties' Jayhawks.
Covers:
Cadets [with Prentice Moreland instead of Ted Taylor as high tenor; his yell: "Great googa mooga let me outta here" deserves Tutti Frutti status]
Betty Reilly [as The Saga Of Elvis Presley; parody (meanwhile, back in the jungle)]
Vibrations [same band as the originals (see note)]
