Frackville’s Jordan Brothers recorded a phenomenal 42 records on 15 different labels. The Jordans appeared on Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand” a total of three times and were headliners on his 49-day “Caravan of Stars” that toured the United States and Canada. They traveled with The Coasters, The Drifters, The Skyliners, Bobby Rydell, La Verne Baker, Paul Anka, Annette Funicello, Jimmy Clanton and several members of the Duane Eddy’s Band.

The Jordans were featured on Jerry Blavat’s WFIL “Discophonic TV Scene” and were mainstays on all of the important east coast TV programs, especially in the Tri-State area.

Their recording of “Gimme Some Lovin’” (Phillips, 1966) was their biggest hit, and charted at No. 1 in Boston, Baltimore and other R&B citadels. The Jordan Brothers released “Gimme Some Lovin’” before the Spencer Davis Group, even though Spencer Davis had written it. Other Jordan hits included “Thing’s I Didn’t Say,” “Dream Romance” and “We’ll Make It.”
