The Jives

El Paso, Texas group, featuring Charlie Miller, mixing Tejano with the occasional soul number. They also recorded as Charlie and the Jives but should not be confused with the San Antonio, Texas group of the same name, featuring Charlie Alvarado. Lead singer Charlie Miller was just 11 years old when he started his band in El Paso in 1964 with his brothers Donnie and Albert, Uncle Tony Gomez and cousins Rudy and Barney Magaña. Gomez played the bass and was the oldest member of the group at 32 (the rest of the group were 15 and 16).
