Subject: Jewel Akens, a pop singer who had a 1960s hit with "The Birds and the Bees,

Jewel Akens, a pop singer who had a 1960s hit with "The Birds and the Bees," has died in Southern California. He was 79.
Akens was in a group called the Turnarounds when they were offered a song that talked about "the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above - and a thing called love."
Other members disliked it so Akens recorded it solo. The song was No. 3 on Billboard's Top 100 chart in 1965 and was later covered by Dean Martin and others.
