Ralf Mehnert Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Hello, I posted the above record in the wants section. All the answers I got told me there is only one release by The Prophets on the Stephanye label (My Kind Of Girl). I always thought the same, but there is this nice record on an old double LP vinyl sampler from Soul Supply (The Soul of...Detroit LPSD 136) from 1989. The liner notes tells: The Prophets - Could It Be (Stephanye), written by G.Redd and J. Crosby, produced by Redd and Capito (like My Kind Of Girl). The Prophets not the Atlanta group take. A one shot deal with Indie `Stephanye` the result being a non seller. It`s definitly not the same group, because the record has a female singer. It`s a nice midtempo record who reminds me to Dena Barnes `Who Am I`. ...but what is it?????? Please help... Edited April 20, 2009 by Ralf Mehnert
Ralf Mehnert Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 I had another look on the record label from the LP. The sleeve said it`s The Prophets but this was a print mistake. The label said it is Mike Farrow. This is wrong as well. It`s Mikki Farrows b-side of her rare record on Karate.

Yes Ralf it`s a mistake on the Lp notes,and yes this is the "Mikki Farrow-Could it be/Set my heart at ease" 45 on Karate. Dave f.............

Ralf Mehnert Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 they did have more records though because supposedly the prophets on stephanye is the exceptionals on red coach Yes, but just on GRT or on Red Coach and not on Stephanye.
boba Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Yes, but just on GRT or on Red Coach and not on Stephanye. not on GRT. you are thinking of the exceptional three, probably a different group.
Ralf Mehnert Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 not on GRT. you are thinking of the exceptional three, probably a different group. No, I thought about The Exceptionals - Unlucky Girl on GRT...
boba Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 No, I thought about The Exceptionals - Unlucky Girl on GRT... I know that, that is the exceptional three on way out (same record) and is probably a different group
45cellar Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 they did have more records though because supposedly the prophets on stephanye is the exceptionals on red coach GENE REDD Influence on both records. (Red Coach - Gene Redd Jr) Same Person, Father / Son?
boba Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 GENE REDD Influence on both records. (Red Coach - Gene Redd Jr) Same Person, Father / Son? Both Gene Redd Jr. and Sr. have long histories and both were record producers, Sr. was a producer at King for example, Jr. had a couple of labels (red bug, red coach, etc.), produced many records for other labels, and is most known for his work with Kool and the Gang on Delite. I think Sharon Redd is Gene's sister.
