Chuck Johnston (BB The Chapelaires) vs Chuck Jackson & The Jaycees

Group histories indicate the Chapelaires did backing vocals for some Gateway artists.  There is a definite vocal difference between these two artist.

• Chuck Jackson did record with the Jaycees on Calico in 1960 releasing ‘Mr Sandman b/w Oh Baby Mine.’
• As well, Chuck Johnston recorded with a Jaycees group in the late 50s.  It is not known if the Jaycees were the same group for both artists.
