Hi Roburt.Thanks for your reply.

 palm of your hand was popular in the late 80s, but not since, as it can become a bit boring the more you hear it

 

his version of love was  not as good as the monorays

 

i dont think there is anything else by him that i can remember

 

sorry

He had 5 x 45's out on US Ember between 1962 & 1964 ............

PLUS ... according to that piece out of Billboard, he had previously had 45's out on Imperial !!

 

His Ember releases ...........

Ember 1087   (1962)    Love I’m Not Gonna Be Your Fool Anymore
Ember 1091   (1963)   Palm Of Your Hand
Ember 1095   (1963)     If I Promise
Ember 1102   (1964)    It's A Lie
Ember 1110   (1964)    Heartless Tears
 
His initial Ember 45 got radio plays on stations such as WJLB in Detroit where it just made it onto the charts.

Roburt, are we certain he was a white guy ?

No, not certain.

Mind you, I think his cuts were 'Chuck Jackson-ish sounding' coz Chuck's stuff was selling so well back then.

Chuck J had enjoyed 3 big R&B + Pop Chart hits in 61 and "Any Day Now" was shooting up the charts when this Chuck's 1st Ember 45 was being made ready for release.

Here's his "Love I’m Not Gonna Be Your Fool Anymore" which does have that 'big city soul' sound .........

 

The arrangement is a bit too sugary for me though & his voice (on this) displays a lack of bite .... but overall it's a decent track.

Ady / Kent included his "Palm of your Hand" on their 'Birth of Soul Vol.3' CD, so not doubt the booklet notes for that contain some info on Chuck.
