Pitter Pats On Instant

[boba]

Can anyone give me info on the Pitter Pats on instant? Googling reveals statements saying that it is huey smith under another name. While Huey Smith clearly produced and performed with them, it was a girl group, so clearly it's not Huey Smith. Does anyone have any real info on this? Thanks a lot.

The one I have "It Do Me Good" is I think from memory a Female & Male duet. Not a girl group, the backing is Huey Smith's band from the time (The Hueys or whatever name they were going by at that point). I searched a bit into this when I was searching about the Little Buck 45s on Seven B & The Hueys 45 which Little Buck is vocalist on. There is not a lot on the net & a bit of what there is seems to be recycled from what I've typed in the past. A name offered up is Brenda Brandon, but I was never sure if someone just came up with this from the B. Brandon writers credit on some of the related 45s of the time. Another name associated is Pearl Edwards who cut the original version of "It Do Me Good" & is known to have still been associated with Huey Smith at the time the Pitter Pats 45 came out. Pearl Edwards is credited on the later Pitter Pats 45 "I'll Never Forget". I never dug much further because it was only peripheral to what I was hunting, so I don't who the male vocal is. Hope this is helpful.

Good luck, the Huey Smith stuff is a bit of a mess

Thanks. I have a couple of their records and remember them being girls, I have to relisten I guess.
