D'oro Records

[Stevie]

Does anyone have a discography, or any other information re this label?

I'm aware of the following few:

1002 - Vivian Copeland - Cushion the blow

1005 - Vivian Copeland - I don't care

1303 - Billy Washington - Do you really love me

1303 - Little Mason - Long Loving Daddy

3500 - Vivian Copeland - He knows my key

Have seen scans for 1303 and this number does appear to have been duplicated.

D'or

101 Ray Lewis - Too sweet to be lonely / Sitting at home with my baby

102 Internationals - Give A Damn / Push Button Love

105 Internationals - Too Sweet To Be Lonely / Beautiful Philosophy

D'oro

1002 Vivian Copeland - Chaos (In My Heart) / Cushion The Blow (5/69)

1003/4 Vivian Copeland - He Knows My Key / So Nice I Had To Kiss You Twice (7/69)

1006/7 Vivian Copeland - I Don't Care / Oh No Not My Baby

3500 Vivian Copeland - He Knows My Key / So Nice I Had To Kiss You Twice (10/69)

888 George Jackson - Tender Love / Rufus, Come And Get Your Dog

I don't think the billy washington or little mason is the same label. Not sure about the george jackson above (I haven't seen it) but it geographically makes sense at least.

I think you could be right re Billy Washington and Little Mason - they are on a gold/red D'oro label.

Have only seen white demo of Vivian Copeland and that was distributed by Atco/Atlantic New York.

I don't think the billy washington

On Billy Washington's "What Did You Do" & "Do You Really Love Me" one of the writers was LeCharles Harper, who also co-wrote "I Dont Care" & "So Nice..." for Vivian Copeland, so I feel there is a tenable link there.
