 ==Biography==
-They were originally a gospel group from [[San Bernardino County Jail|San Bernardino]]. They recorded as The Marbles for the Lucky Label during 1953 and 1954. In August 1954 they changed their name to The Jewels and signed to the newly formed [[Los Angeles]] based "R&B Records" label. Around this time the group consisted of Johnny Torrence (tenor), Vernon Knight (Baritone), Rudy Jackson (lead vocals), Dee Hawkins (tenor), and James Brown (bass) (the latter not to be confused with "Godfather of Soul" [[James Brown]]).

-The first release for the R&B label was Jackson's song "Hearts Of Stone". It became popular with the West coast audience and was re-recorded by The Charms on DeLuxe Records who had a national hit with it, although the original remained popular on the West Coast. The song would later be recorded by [[Elvis Presley]]. R&B Records soon sold the group's contract to Imperial Records where they would release three records, including a Zappa favourite - [[Angel In My Life]], another Jackson composition, before disbanding in 1956.
