"She's Alright" by Reggie Milner, written by Reggie, released on Ron Murphy's Ron's Records, is listed as copyright 1967.  But, it has a wonderful earlier 1964-65 sound.  Ron was a good friend of mine, and usually gave me copies of his label's releases.  I never got that one.  If memory serves me right, that was pressed in 1971.  He did record some local Detroit artists, himself, singing songs they wrote.  But, he also got hold of (bought the rights to) some earlier recorded ('60s) master tapes, and released those on his labels.  I think this is one of those (maybe recorded as a demo for Milner, in 1965, but, for some reason, not published by a music publisher until 1967, and not pressed up until Murphy did it in 1971).

 

I wish I had heard it and asked him about it and obtained a copy years ago.

 

Does anyone here know the story of this recording and what group is backing up Reggie on this cut?  Clearly (based on the writing style and sound, it was recorded before 1967, and before Milner's recordings by Ollie McLaughlin, that were leased to and recorded for Volt Records.  That's a great tight sound by his backing group.  I'd bet they were a professional group that appeared outside the studio, rather than just a studio group or random collection of back-up singers.
