Talk:The Dixie Cups

Untitled
I would like to point out to someone that this page says that "Iko Iko" was recorded sometime in the mid 40's, but on the page for the song "Iko Iko", it states that it was written about 1950. One of these references (or both) need to be corrected with the correct date.


 * The All Music Guide quotes "Sugar Boy and his Cane Cutters" recording "Jock-a-Mo" in early 1954. The track was the forerunner version of The Dixie Cups eventual 1965 re-working - "Iko Iko". Sugar Boy was James "Sugar Boy" Crawford who is given at least, part songwriting credit, for the Dixie Cups' hit. Accordingly, I have amended the two references to the year of 1954.

Joan Johnson
In regards to the recent passing of original member Joan Johnson, there appears to be a contradiction over the date of death. Rolling Stone magazine says she died on October the 3rd while the NY Times says she died Sunday October the 2nd. Both sources state different days so what should we do about this?

 * The two citations could be reconcilable if the actual time is on 3 October 2016 according to London, despite the fact that Rolling Stone magazine is based in New York, but 2 October 2016 according to New York.98.149.97.245 (talk) 01:57, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Rosa Lee Hawkins
Published in 2021, Chapel of Love: The Story of New Orleans Girl Group the Dixie Cups gives the birth year for lead author Rosa Lee Hawkins as 1944. Also, for what it's worth, Rosa Lee Hawkins was born on 24 September 1944, according to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hawkins-15345. At a minimum, each of those two sources disagrees with the citations in this article. If either or both of those two sources is/are true, then Rosa Lee Hawkins' death would have been at 77 or even remotely possibly 78 but, in any event, not 76.98.149.97.245 (talk) 02:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Gold records
Contrary to the article's apparent claims, The Dixie Cups have never had an RIAA Certified Gold record, according to https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/ .98.149.97.245 (talk) 01:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
