June 5, 2022 Records of the Day

Like many performers, Jewel Akens began singing in church before beginning his career with a 1950’s group called the Four Dots who employed Rock N Roll icon Eddie Cochran as their guitar player. In 1964, Akens had a top ten smash with “The Birds and The Bees,” which is worth up to $20.00. But the following year he released “My First Lonely Night.” That 45, issued by ERA Records, is worth up to $400.00 today.
