Alcon Shades (blue Rock) Info Needed

[George G]

Hello all,

I'm looking for info on the Alcon Shades on Blue Rock - mainly where they were from and info on the recording session. I dunno if there is anything on the Blue Rock CD set, I don't have that collection. Anyways, the songs were published by a Cleveland publisher (Carlman), in fact "Midnight Light" was also recorded by Akron soul singer Charles Davenport, but on that record the writer credits are different.

TIA

George

Thanks Bob, I was posting that someone would have a quick answer....if not, I'll ask him (he lives in Florida BTW) and the Cleveland soul royalty. I'm guessing that they were from out of town, none of the other names match Maduri's MO of the time. I'm not crazy about the record anyways, more of a loose end than a priority.

I was just looking at the record a few months ago and had noticed it was ohio, I don't think there is much "known" about the group in the collecting community at least so it would be interesting to find out what you find out. Thanks.
