Roburt Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I thought this thread was about your personal verve label top 10? anyways, (I also included MGM) here are the 8 I came up with, in no order. Shalimars "stop and take a look at yourself" Terri Bryant "geni" Chantels "Indian giver" High Keyes "Let's take a chance" King Davis Houserockers "We all make mistakes sometimes" Webs "we belong together" Ambers "now I'm in trouble" Wilson Pickett "let me be your boy" ............ RE: King Davis Houserockers "We all make mistakes sometimes" Bill Risbrook was a member of the King Davis Houserockers (the group were actually managed by King Davis & I believe Richard Thomas / Richard Thompson was their lead singer). The group (along with a similar group that Billy Nichols was in at the time) played as 'covers bands' on the local New York club circuit -- the two groups even playing on the same bill one night at a local show. As the KDHr's the group enjoyed a 2nd 45 release in 1972. Billy Nichol had written a song that he had cut himself around 1972/73 but he couldn't get a deal for it's release. So when his friend Louie Risbrook asked if Billy had a song that the KDHr could cut he suggested "Do It (Till You're Satisfied)". The membership of the KDHr's had evolved from their days on Verve, three of the group's musicians (guitarist Richard Thompson plus sax player's Bill Risbrook and Carlos Ward) had formed Madison Street Express along with bassist Louis Risbrook (AKA Jamal Rasool). After percussionist Dennis Rowe, drummer Terrell Wood, and vocalist Barbara Joyce Lomas joined them they cut "Do It" and for the release of their new 45 took the group name Brooklyn Trucking Express (their new name almost instantly being shortened to just B.T. Express.) ............ the rest is history (the 45 becoming a massive hit in August 74). Edited October 19, 2012 by Roburt 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) ..... RE: King Davis Houserockers featuring Richard Thomas (AKA Rick Thompson) -- "We all make mistakes sometimes" The Rick (Richard) Thompson credited version of "We All Make Mistakes" on Columbia ....... Produced by King Davis Productions & released around June / July 69. The KDHr's Verve 45 escaping around March / April 67.
