The Jamies

The Jamies were an American doo wop group from New York. The group's 1958 single for Epic Records, "Summertime, Summertime", was a hit in the U.S., hitting #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year.^[1] Several singles (many written or co-written by members Jameson and Feller) followed issued, none of them hits. In 1962, they re-released "Summertime, Summertime" and hit again, this time peaking at #38.^[1] The song's fame far eclipsed the band's; The Fortunes, The Doodletown Pipers, Hobby Horse, Jan & Dean, The Legendary Masked Surfers, Mungo Jerry, and Sha Na Na would all cover the tune, and it was used in commercials for Buick and Applebee's.^[2]
