History

The label became popular in 1958 with the release of Duane Eddy's " Rebel Rouser"/"Stalkin'", which reached No. 6 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Eddy became the mainstay Jamie artist, recording hit after hit, including " Because They're Young" (No. 4) and "Forty Miles of Bad Road" (No. 9). Eddy's last Jamie single "Runaway Pony"/"Just Because" was issued in 1962. The Jordan Brothers also recorded for Jamie, hailing from Frackville, Pennsylvania. Their first release was "Send Me Your Picture" and their biggest hit, " Gimme Some Lovin'", was released in the US before the more successful version by the Spencer Davis Group. The Jordans toured with Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars bus tour and appeared on Philadelphia and New Jersey-based TV shows. The last major charting record on Jamie was released in 1966, when the label issued Crispian St. Peters' " The Pied Piper" in the US (No. 4). Afterwards, the hits came out on their subsidiary labels: "Boogaloo Down Broadway" by the Fantastic Johnny C (No. 7 pop and No. 5 R&B, in 1967) and "
