“My True Story” (1961) was a doo-wop ballad and #3 pop hit for The Jive Five. Written by lead singer Eugene Pitt, it’s sung from prison about lost love. The single topped the R&B chart for three weeks. In an interesting later note, members of The Jive Five even wrote TV jingle music (famous for Nickelodeon cartoon themes), showing their musical careers extended well beyond doo-wop.
