JEWEL AKENS, 79
Died March 1st.
He was in a group called the Turnarounds when they were offered a song about the "birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above--and a thing called _____." The others in his band didn't want to have anything to do with it, so he recorded it solo.
That song went to #3 in1965, his only hit. He continued to play music into his 70s.
Maybe I have to go to You Tube for you know what.
Now, I Have That Song On My Mind. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
