Talk:The Skylarks (vocal group)

Names?

@Entertainment Buff:, you added a picture (thanks!) with a caption naming the two girl singers as "Malka Maikin" and "Jackie Joslin", but all my refs for Maiken giver her first name as "Gilda", and the one ref I have for Jackie gives her last name as "Gershwin" (unless Jackie Joslin and Jackie Gershwin are two different people). So I changed the caption to match the article text for now, altho you may have info that I don't have. Herostratus (talk) 05:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. I just copied the information from the scan in Wikimedia Commons. I know nothing about this singing group. I was browsing photos in WC, found that, and noticed that the Wikipedia article could use a photo. Also, I saw the significance because Carol Burnett's late husband Joe Hamilton is in the photo. If someone has more factual information than I do, please feel free to correct or update it. Thanks much! Entertainment Buff 17:05, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jackie Joslin is indeed Jackie Joslin Gershwin. I know her personally and she still lives and resides in Decatur, Alabama. Her name also appears as Jacqueline Joslin and Jackie Joslin. Her sister was Peggy Joslin Sivley, deceased of Decatur, AL. Her daughter was Gina. Jackie Joslin, about age 23, was on the three-car tour train with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. She later married Jerry Gershwin.
