The Jaywalkers were a band created in Asbury Park, New Jersey in the early 1960s through 1968. Band members included creator Larry "The Great" Gadsby, John Shaw, Jim Cattanach (Jack Valentine), John Consoli (Cos), Richard Hetherton (Fletcher Henderson), and Mickey Holiday. According to Asbury Park online archives, The Jaywalkers "were the pioneers- the first musicians to play rock and roll live in clubs, and dance halls around the Jersey Shore area. Through their blending of musical genres that included Rock & Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Doo-wop, and Soul, the Sound of Asbury Park (SOAP)" would define the Asbury music scene for generations.
