Briank Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) I have this 10" acetate without a artist name and does not sound like the four tops, so who could it be. Looking for info. Edited April 20, 2017 by briank over 200 views and nobody knows.
Chalky Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 What is tne acetate? I take it not a Jobete acetate?
Briank Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 Not a Jobete. Does that help? Have you heard it before?
Woodbutcher Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Don't know the vocalist but the drummer's very familiar ... 1

Briank Posted April 21, 2017 Author Posted April 21, 2017 I just play their version on utube and does not sound like my acetate. Ray Brown is a white guy and the one on the acetate sounds black. I know white guys wanted to sound rnb back then, but I don't think it's him in my opinion and ears. I never heard of Ray Brown before, so thanks for the input. What did you think of the track?
Briank Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Anybody else that listened to the song have a guess or comment?
Robbk Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Where is the link to it? I haven't been able to listen to it?
Briank Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Edited April 23, 2017 by briank No one knows the artist.
Tattoodave Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Sounds like a white guy to me and he tries too hard.
Briank Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 I guess I could be wrong and it does sound like he's pushing it a bit. Does any one know what artist Dick Charles used?
Robbk Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 No surprise that I don't recognise it. It's in a style that's not to my taste at all. Usually, from the style of the arrangement, and the sound of the instrumentation, I can peg the recording in time, and sometimes to a given record label, or even producer. But, I can't even tell roughly when this recording was made. I would guess 1967-68. Definitely a "White" artist. He sounds "American". I don't hear an underlying "accent" under his "fake American 'Black' accent". I'd guess that he was from The US. But that's no guarantee. As that similar "fake American 'Black' accent" is often fairly close whether sung by US Blue Eyed Soul Singers, Aussies, (Anglophone) South Africans, Canucks, Kiwis and the like.
Briank Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks for your input. Yea, it fooled me. They just wanted to make a rock version of the hit?
