It has been posted up on the Southern Soul Forum that Jewel Akens died this afternoon in a Los Angeles hospital.
Is this correct ?
Can anyone confirm that Jewel has indeed passed as I can find nothing about this anywhere else on the net ?
He would be over 70 years old & his track "The Birds & the Bees" was a big US [[Pop Top 10) & UK [[Pop Top 30) hit back in March 1965.
