2. The Jesters were a garage band briefly signed to the Sun Records label. Their 1966 single Cadillac Man was one of the last releases from the label during the Sam Philips era, and the band featured Sams son, Jerry, on guitar. For years this single was the only official release from the band, until the appearance of the 2008 Ace compilation Cadillac Men, which featured all of their known Sun recordings. As Alec Palao notes, the bands story was "even stranger than fiction, encompassing... Memphis maverick Jim Dickinson, a future medieval knight, and The World’s Most Perfectly Formed Midget Wrestler."
3. The Jesters were an early 1960s rock and roll band from Ohio. Its members were Lloyd Berrier (saxophone, vocals), Jerry Pocatko (accordion, organ) and David Vandernick (drums). They released two singles in 1961, "Peter Gunn Twist / The Jesters Jump" and "Jamaican Holiday / Diesel". Both tracks of the first single appeared on the Las Vegas Grind compilation series.
