The Yank Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 According to Dave Moore's book - "The Philly Sound" , the group was made up of lead vocalist John Kelley, John Grant, Henry Colclugh. and two names well known to Northern Soul fans- Billy Jackson and Herb Johnson. There is no mention of the Trent Town release so that was probably a different group.

Mr Smithy Posted April 14, 2017 Author Posted April 14, 2017 Sorry Chalks Didn't read your comment right. Yeah, I think they ain't them The Yank Looks like a variation of the above.
Mr Smithy Posted May 18, 2017 Author Posted May 18, 2017 I forgot about this. The reason I was asking was to hopefully confirm these. It seems this is it though. So the answer to the question that very few people care about is, probably....... ___________ Bradley John Powell Sam _________ Donald W. Junior? Not sure anyone went on to fame & fortune, couldn't find anything. But now you know.
recordsnracin Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) The RE-VELLS were a different group coming out of Trenton,New Jersey to the best of my knowledge. Ken recordsnracin Edited May 19, 2017 by recordsnracin
