Previous Vocal Group Record of the Week
(Week of 6/24/06 - 6/30/06)


"Carelessly"/"Cloudy"
by Delores Jackson And The Cabin Boys
on Decca 7396 B/A
released in 1938


Above: Clipping of The Cabin Boys from 1944 Billboard magazine. This vocal/instrumental group was popular for many years in the niteclubs and lounges of Chicago. Their record output, though, was slim and may have been limited to this one Decca release.

Delores Jackson was from Pittsburgh and sang on radio there. When she moved to Chicago, she landed a three year contract with Decca. However, her total output seems to be this one release with The Cabin Boys and one other side on Decca (without vocal group backing).
