1958

JENNIE LEE * JAN AND ARNIE * LONDON 8653 * UK

Released on the Californian label Arwin # 108 in the USA, Jennie Lee was the Duo's (Jan Berry and Arnie Ginsburg) first record of three for the label; it was something of a success for the boys reaching number 8 on the Billboard Pop charts, number 3 on Cash Box and Number 4 R&B The fact that it appealed to the R&B market could be due to the arrangement  by Ernie Freeman with additional input from his Combo; and its release in the UK could be due to it being distributed nationally in the US by Dot who had many sides released on London in the UK. I don't know if Arnie, went on to be Arnie 'Woo Woo' Ginsberg the Deejay, but Jan Berry was later to become the Jan half of Jan And Dean.
