Pete S Posted December 14, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted December 14, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dobber Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share 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.

Benji Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Reggie Alexander: Cheesy vocals but what a backing. Fantastic record. I love it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted December 15, 2012 Share 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.

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?
