Vashons We'll Be Together

[Shsdave]

Apologies if this has been done but strange how towards the end of the record the lead vocal fades as though it's the end of the record before the backing vocals pick it up a notch & continues for a while with the muted lead? Engineer with a bit of a twitch ?

[Gold Band]

How apt the title then, because I think the end goes together rather well with the harmonies & it took the other half a long time to aquire this wonderful track, it was on the wants list forever.

I like the Marvellos version on Loma. Not sure which one came out first.

The Marvello's cut was titled: "We Go Together". They were an L.A. group produced by Marc Gordon. The song was published by Gordon's Finesse Music. I suspect that if The Vahons (a Midwestern group?) sang it at all (are you sure it's the same song?), The Marvellos sang it first.

The Vashons are LA. It is definitely the same song. I'm not sure who stole from whom. Vashons has Tinadele publishing on it which is obviously one of the big LA publishers at the time.

Who produced The Vashons? Maybe I have it and have forgotten. Can you (or anyone else) post a scan (please)? It was written by Willie Hutch. Maybe he was working for Gordon while Gordon had his working agreement with WB, and it was first recorded by The Marveloos. OR, maybe it was recorded first by The Vashons, when Hutch was working with the Delle crew, who worked for the owner of Tinadele, and the publishing of the song was later purchased by Gordon for Finesse, when he decided to produce the song recorded by The Marvellos. Knowing who produced the Vashons and trying to date that release would help. I think I have a couple records by The Vashons. I know this one is on Delle. I don't have time to look through every record on my L.A. indie label shelves to find it. So, I hope someone can post a scan of it.

No Producer named on the Vashons but the writers are Sykes - Carter ??? The b side is obviously very early 60s & quite honestly I think We'll be together sounds earlier than the Marvellos We go together although confusingly both groups sing We go together ????

Over to you Robb

if that's true, then willie hutch stole the song! I will try to look in copyright for the vashons song in copyright.

We need to find out when the Sykes/Carter Tinedele published song was registered, or see if the Delle record has a pressing plant number that can be dated. Is that Delle record a Monarch pressing? If so, please tell us the number.

I've got to say I prefer the more uptempo Vashons Version But then again I do like the flip of Marvellos - Something's Burnin' as thats also upbeat but one mans is another mans something or other.
