| - | Jeter was best known for his [[falsetto]] with the [[Swan Silvertones]] in which his graceful high melodies served in contrast to the rougher voices of the group's other members.

| - | During the 1950s the group was popular and many of the elements of the group's style resembled the then-prevalent [[rhythm and blues]] vocal group style. Jeter received many offers to perform R&B or [[rock and roll]], but rejected them all, citing a commitment he had made to his mother that he would always sing for the Lord. | + | |

| - | Elements of his performances in songs were picked up by later singers such as [[Al Green]] and [[Eddie Kendricks]] of [[The Temptations]] and another of his songs served as [[Paul Simon]]'s [[artistic inspiration|inspiration]] to write his 1970 song "[[Bridge over Troubled Water (song)|Bridge over Troubled Water]]". Paul Simon subsequently gave Jeter a check for $1,000 for inspiring Simon to write "Bridge over Troubled Water". See for this last trope: [[cultural appropriation in western music]]. | + | |

He felt so guilty about this retroactive murder that he turned to drugs to keep from dreaming. Note that he didn't dream she was just somewhere else, alive and not bothering him, but had died violently." --[[Beauty in Darkness: the history of BDSM]] | + | |
