--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Jubalaires were, quite possibly, the inspiration for The Jordanaires , since, The Jubalaires (formed in 1935), pre date the Jordanaires, who formed in 1948. No record of the Jordanaires referencing The Jubalaires as an influence tho, so not sure. But, similar name and similar sound, so its kind of a no brainer, wouldnt you say?
