The Jamies were an American singing group, led by siblings Tom and Serena Jameson, based in Boston.
[1] Both "Summertime" and its b-side, "Searching for You", are often described as doo-wop because of their time period and their a cappella harmonies.
[1] The song's fame far eclipsed the band's; The Fortunes, the Doodletown Pipers, Hobby Horse, Jan and Dean, and Sha Na Na all covered the tune, and it was used in commercials for Buick, Ken-L Ration Burger Time Dog Food, Applebee's and McDonald's.
Tom Jameson died from cancer on July 19, 2009, at the age of 72.
Arthur Blair died at age 82 on January 8, 2020, in Fruitland, Idaho.
