Chessman
with Terry Jacks
His first real professional exposure in music was as singer and guitarist for The Chessmen who had a modicum of success in the Vancouver region with two singles on London Records and two singles on Mercury 1964 thru 1966. Three of these tunes charted in the Top-10 on CFUN.

During one of The Chessmen's many appearances on CBC-TV's Music Hop, Jacks would meet his future wife, Saskatoon native Susan Pesklevits.
