Dobber Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 COULD SOMEONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS ONE,I HAVE THE RECORD BELOW: REGGIE ALEXANDER-ITS BETTER-BOSS NOW ITS SOUNDS LIKE ANDY WILLIAMS,I WONDERED IF HE IS THE ARTIST,BUT GOING UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME. ALSO THE B SIDE"CONFUSION" IS WRITER CREDITED TO A.WILLIAMS....BIT OF A COINCIDENCE! LISTEN TO IT AND SEE WHAT YOU RECKON! https://youtu.be/jP6rtrrAkr4
Guest gordon russell Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 MOST PROBABLY IS LOL..........never like this record despite the illustrious credits..........no offence to you fella,but it,s a beat ballady 60's pop tune..........
Dobber Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 i like the production on the record...but if it is andy williams...it sours it a bit for me...no offence to andy,he was a great singer!
Mark B Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 Hi dobber if it is soured for you I will have or a fiver lol Funnily enough when I wrote dobber the iPad changed it to robber lol How you doing got snowed in yet Mark
Pete S Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) I said exactly the same thing the last time this record came up. But A Williams is maybe Andre Williams? (Going back 15 years or so I think Ady compared the two in a Kent cd sleeve note) Edited December 14, 2012 by Pete S
Premium Stuff Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 Could the 'A. Williams' even be a spelling mistake given that Herbie Williams of Pied Piper is credited on the other side 'H. Williams'? Just a thought. Richard
Dobber Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 Hi dobber if it is soured for you I will have or a fiver lol Hi mark....a fiver...umm let me think...umm no! And no snow yet mate,but I'm sure it will turn up! Are you well brother? Funnily enough when I wrote dobber the iPad changed it to robber lol How you doing got snowed in yet Mark
Dobber Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 The writer credits on the bside are...a.williams s.barnes h.williams I just think with the vocal and twinkling piano it sounds like andy williams. Oh and hi mark! Let me think a fiver...umm no! And no snow yet mate,but I'm sure its on its way. Are you well my friend?
Premium Stuff Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 The writer credits on the bside are...a.williams s.barnes h.williams That blows my theory then I guess :lol: Cheers Richard
Guest Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 Mold sounds a bit like gold, but it doesn't mean it is! Eddie Parker sounds a bit like Eddie Floyd! Just coincidence I think!

John A Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Who's Andy Williams?? In fact don't ell me, I've got a Reggie and I don't need ya spoiling ity for me too
Sjclement Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Who did the other version of this can't think of it at the moment
Premium Stuff Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Who did the other version of this can't think of it at the moment Sharon Scott - unreleased Pied Piper Cheers Richard
Swifty Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Who's Andy Williams?? In fact don't ell me, I've got a Reggie and I don't need ya spoiling ity for me too Sorry ! Cheers Swifty Nice video though ! Edited December 15, 2012 by SWIFTY
Benji Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Reggie Alexander: Cheesy vocals but what a backing. Fantastic record. I love it.
Robbk Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Ha! Ha! You're kidding, of course! Reggie's singing is SLIGHTLY reminiscent of MOR's Andy Williams. But, this singer was Detroit's Reggie Alexander. I've seen his name on several other Detroit records. A. Williams is clearly Andre Williams, who worked on many Sport/Boss/Sir Rah productions. He had his OWN release on Sport, "Pearl Time". How could anyone think the "A. Williams" on this record is ANOTHER, different A. Williams? The odds are way too slim.

Williams'? Just a thought. Richard You're forgetting that Andre Williams was one of the major producers, songwriters and even performing artists with Sport/Boss/Sir Rah Records. His "Pearl Time" sold more than any of The Dramatics records, and probably took second place to sales of ALL of their releases only to "You Don't have To Say You love Me" by The Four Sonics.

Dave Pinch Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 I'm glad it's over. me too peter..they dont have to have a lead vocal like rance allen to be good records 1
Robbk Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 just a joke rob Ha! HA! And would you believe that I make my living as a COMEDY writer? A man with absolutely NO sense of humour! 1

Peter99 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Ha! HA! And would you believe that I make my living as a COMEDY writer? A man with absolutely NO sense of humour! No LOL Peter
Robbk Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 You're joking - right? :lol: Richard Now YOU'RE joking, right??? Actually, I wasn't. I write, (and draw) Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories for Dutch, Danish, and German Walt Disney publications. Some of my stories (5 to be exact) appeared in British Donald Duck Magazine during the early 1990s. Maybe that's why the Disney Comics experiment there failed?

I'll upload some drawings and comic pages on a thread in the "Freebasing" section.
