About The Jivers

There are several artists known as The Jivers. 1) Los Angeles-based R&B vocal group The Jivers formed in 1955 - according to Marv Goldberg's profile in the November 2001 issue of Discoveries, founders John Saulter (lead) and Daryll Perrault (baritone) previously teamed in an unnamed quartet that briefly collaborated with Jesse Belvin before backing Al Smith on four sides for Combo as one of several Smith support staffs credited as The Savoys. Saulter and Perrault then teamed with fellow Centennial High students Peter Bryant (tenor), Douglas Brown (tenor) and Charles Farmer (bass) to form The Jivers - after signing to Aladdin, the group cut four songs at Capitol Studios in June 1956, with their debut single "Cherie" hitting stores a month later. The follow-up, "Ray Pearl," appeared in October, like its predecessor failing to generate any notice - with bookings scarce and their Aladdin deal expiring, the Jivers dissolved in 1957. Perrault resurfaced briefly in 1965, teaming with brother Larry to record "Oldie But Goodie" for Ray Charles' Tangerine label.
