There's another Vernon Guy one - Vernon & Stacy - "The hunter and the rabbit/My life time love"

 

R & B Indies also shows "Anything to make it with you" with a flip of "Walking down the aisle" and also with "Anything to make it with you (instrmental"

Sonja was one of Ike Turner's labels. He operated it in the late 50's / early 60's out of both St Louis & after he & Tina moved, LA.

I have a book on Ike at home (away again at present) & in the back of the book is a full listing of all Ike's records and all the Ike related records. There's a full Sonja listing in the book (about 20 singles from memory but I could be wrong as my memory is shot these days)

[Jnixon]

interesting so can you put a date on the first sonja release even if its a guess?

Fontella on Sonja .........

 

 

A partial label listing ...........  https://www.45cat.com/label/sonja

 

Seems most of the 45's on the label escaped around 1964 after Ike (& Tina) had relocated to LA.

Ike had other labels that put out 45's by these (& other artists) going back to the 50's ........
