The Jack of Diamonds coordinate

Doris Kenner-Jackson's birthday maps to the Jack of Diamonds (The Successful Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Doris Kenner-Jackson. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You try a new approach to value and you finish enough of it to know if it works.

Doris Kenner-Jackson in the public record

Doris was the lead singer on their biggest hit, "Dedicated to the One I Love". She initially left the group in 1968, but returned in 1975 after original lead singer, Shirley Owens, left. Through marriages, she became Doris Coley Kenner and later Doris Kenner Jackson. Coley was born in Goldsboro, North Carolina to Zeno and Ruth Best Coley as the oldest of five children but moved with her family to Passaic, New Jersey after her mother's death. With schoolmates Shirley Owens (later Shirley Alston Reeves), Addie "Micki" Harris and Beverly Lee, she formed the Shirelles in Passaic in 1958, one of the first all-girl groups of the rock era. The four teenagers did not graduate with their class of 1958, but they earned diplomas later. They performed their self-written "I Met Him on a Sunday" for Florence Greenberg and was signed to her Tiara label (the song was so popular, it was bought by Decca Records). Coley was married two times.
