Jackie Peterson & the Paramounts


Jackie Peterson & the Paramounts

Warwick 127/128

15169 - Funny Man
15170 - Because You're Mine


According to Buckeye Beat website,


Jackie Peterson and the Paramounts were a Cleveland band in the greaser groove that released one 45 on the Warwick label. The record seems to have been a local hit, as used copies turn up regularly.

In 1972 Capitol released a 45 by Jackie, with no band accredation, that was recorded in Cleveland. The record is in the 'soft rock' style of the time.

R. Smith and the Caveman Band



Vocal by R. Smith and the Caveman Band

Caveman

CP- 6621 ~ These Old Hills
(Williams-Carlson-Baxter)

CP- 6622 ~ White Rose Gal
(wr Ned Williams)

1961


My guess is that R. Smith is Roger Smith whose name popped up on various labels such as Claudra, Red Bird, AFS (57), Air (59-60), Star-X and Jerome (61). All these recordings, like this release on Caveman, are song-poem recordings.

Some are attempts to rock and roll, but the results are always contrived, not preventing their inclusion on RnR compilation. See Rockin' Country Style.

Was he also the vocalist doing "Because Of You" on the budget label Prom Hit backed by the Scott Brady (a.k.a. Enoch Light) and his Orchestra in the mid-fifties? Was he recording as vocalist of a big band before WW II? Probably.

The Caveman label was located in Wolf Lake, Illinois. See ASPMA.
