November - 2009 - Information provided by Monica Hernandez, daughter of Manny Hernandez, one of the original singers of The Five Jades.

Manny Hernandez was in the original group and original record shown in the pictures I enclosed in this email.

Acappella Showcase Presents - The 5 Jades Singing Velvet Soul For Lovers Only - Relic Records Production In Cooperation With The Time Capsule Show - 136 Main Street Hackensack, NJ.

My Father was a big part of The Five Jades, singing I Wish You Love, If Someone Would Care to name a few on the Velvet Soul Album.
The original group was Ray Goodwin, Manny Hernandez, Spencer Jackson, Dennis Cerrato, & Junior Roman (left to right). When my father passed the album Past Is In The Future (gold colored) was dedicated to my father with a small picture and passage on the back of the album.

My father was killed in a robbery attempt in my grandmothers corner store (Bodega) in NY. Soon after my Uncle Anthony Hernandez, my fathers brother and my Godfather took my dads spot in the group. To this day I am so happy he did. I grew up listening to this music & stories of my dad. Its been a big part of my life and still inspires me and my children today.

 

 

 

 

December 2004 and April 2005 - Information provided by Mark Moscariello [mmoscariello@yahoo.com] -- I think the Five Jades record on MelloMood was "Don't Say Goodnight" bw "Sunday Kind of Love" as the Five Shadows. MelloMood was Bill Shibilski's record label. As far as I know he still hosts the "Polka Party" on WFUV Fordham University radio, 98.6FM, Saturdays at 6pm. He released some really fine acapella records including the Zircons "Lonely Way", and the DelStars "Who Said You Wasn't Mine" bw "Why Do You Have to Go?", along with the Five Shadows. It's a shame they're not available.
