Thank you so much for sharing that information on this site. I too have several of Jordan's albums. Funny, one day I found "Jordan has the Knack" album at a Radio Shack store in Massillon, Ohio. It was in a small bin holding just a few records. Thanks again for remembering my cousin, and please, I hope more people add to this post. Wow, the last Post regarding Jordan is amazing.

I was the cashier, Jordan and Eddie Wright (member of The Wild Ones) were both waiters. Jordan worked under the name Jordan Zankoff, but was calling himself, Jordan Christopher. He, Eddie and Chuck were, at that time, forming their band. I don;t recall if they had gotten together with the Tommy's yet. Jordan and his roommate (another waiter) lived next door to me for a while. Jordan, Gerry and I would often meet for breakfast before going to work. Jordan had given me a 45 RPM of Jordan and The Fascinations. I believe the title was "Blue Grass of Kentucky", if I remember correctly. I'm sure I still have it packed away somewhere. Jordan told me he was Macedonian, he was very proud of that fact. He also told me he would marry rich and would would become famous. I am sorry to hear that he died so young. Does anyone know what the cause of his death was? He was a very nice person and fun to be with. I did go to the Peppermint Lounge several times to hear The Wild Ones play. They had a great sound.

The one on the Dapt label from 1961, My Imagination, is one of the best songs ever recorded. The flip is the old Eldorados tune, I'll Be Forever Loving You. Unlike the songs he recorded with The Wild Onbes, these are great Group and Harmony songs. Thev other I have is Once Upon A Time. Currently, there is a CD out by Jordan and the Fascinations that I just purchased. I have 2 records(45′s) by Jordan and the Fascinations.

As far as I knew he was (Zankoff) macedonian. He attended Buchtel High and I went to St Mary's and then Copley. There were a number of us that ran together. We all had summer jobs but not Jordan. He always said he would marry money and never really work for a living and that is what he did.He was really good looking and talented artist and singer.
