THE JADES_Hey, Little Girl/Walking All Alone.Nau-Voo Records-1959.

Value; $ 250.

“The original edition of THE JADES was a white, R&B group, formed in 1957, from Charleston, West Virginia. Along with their band ,the BLUETONE ORCHESTRA , their recordings of "HEY LITTLE GIRL" and "WALKING ALL ALONE", written by lead singer Ron Brooks, were produced by NAU-VOO RECORDS in Portsmouth, Ohio in 1959. "HEY LITTLE GIRL" was given a very good rating by Billboard Magazine and was briefly successful in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Shortly thereafter, Dee Clark came out on VEE=JAY RECORDS with a different "HEY LITTLE GIRL" which became very popular at that time. Since VEE-JAY RECORDS had a much larger company and distribution network, NAU-VOO RECORDS could not compete and ceased to distribute THE JADES "HEY LITTLE GIRL". Our singing group, THE JADES, then disbanded. Other members of our group were Dave Ellison, Gene Moffatt, and Denzil Shamblin. Our version of "HEY LITTLT GIRL" has become a very rare, white doo-wop record. We had a great time singing and recording that record. It was a lot of fun. Yours truly, Ron Brooks”
