Biography :
According youtube through members families, James Leggat under the
stage name of Kelly Troy was a Elvis Era rocker (part of the ‘Stars of
Tomorrow’ Tour with Brenda Lee and Neil Sedaka) with slicked back hair,
killer clothes, ever with one eye on the ladies and the other seeking
out the nearest mirror. Songs under his stage name Kelly Troy “In the
Still of the Night” and “Lucky In Love” among others. Originally from
London, the eldest son of a Scot carpenter from the Highlands and his
wife, a housewife from County Carlo, Ireland, James’ Father (and his
siblings) was among the last W.W.I.I. refugees processed at Ellis
Island. James Leggat saw America as the land of Opportunity. Though
getting radio play and other industry notice, the Army, via the draft,
brought James Sr. to Georgia where he met his wife, sister to one of his
barrack buddies.

The
Three jays was Marty Jay, Marlyn Jay and Stan Jay, who were billed as
the Jays on the Harvey label . In 1956, the 13 year-old Marty Jay and
his 10 and 11 year-old Siblings Stan and Marilyn Jay have a first single
with "The Memory Of You (Legend Of James Dean)" b/w "Caught, Caught,
Ring-A-Leevio (One, Two, Three)" on Rca Victor. Three Years later
another disc is released by Vee-Jay Records; "Rosa" b/w "Because Of
You", Unfortunately I don't know if it's the same group.
