About the artist
Skip Jackson (real name Tommy Brown; died 1982) led the Shantons, a doo-wop/soul vocal group from the Jersey City, New Jersey area, recording for Jay-Mar and Dot-Mar; "Promise That You'll Wait" (Dot-Mar 324/5, 1967) is documented directly by Sir Shambling's Deep Soul Heaven, which calls it "a great group ballad with fine horn support". He later cut "Peace Of Mind" (Capitol, 1972) with Barry Beckett on keys, appeared on the Garry Moore Show billed "The Kid From Boys Town", and recorded for producer Stan Krause under other group names.
