Blackpoolsoul Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 There had always been discussion about this group being different to the Detroit group This is the info I have from digging around This Superlatives were an all male group from New Jersey:St. Julian (pee wee) Bonaparte (lead)David Jones (first tenor)Leon Stuckey (second tenor)Marvin (mousey) Williams (bass)Gerald Applewhite (baritone)Both the tracks, 'i still love you' and 'we're so lonely' were recorded in 1966, at Cameo Parkway in Philadelphia. The Detroiters were apparently James Edwards, Billy George Jones, James Stuberfield, Ray Took and Rip Washington. It would be nice to know and rectify as I cannot be certain and need your help (I could have missed it on another thread!!!)

Heres some topics that may help... Paul Kyser very own topic Various members take
Mike Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 the posts above are split from an old bootleg topic sometimes best if possible to start a new topic with a better title

The above info came from a previous topic (the second link Mike posted above) and you missed the last sentence which kinda verifies where the info came from. Quote The information was lifted from Tim Ashibende's enlightening fanzine 'tracks to your mind' which features interviews about the Superatives with Paul Kyser and Earl Morgan (manager)

Mike Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Seems there's was a pic of the Detroit 'Superlatives' group posted on one of the other topics but was hosted on a 3rd party source and is no longer available anyone got a copy of the group pic that they could post up ?
Blackpoolsoul Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 There are 3 images on Discogs of the Detroit group but the New Jersey group are listed with them (uptite) https://www.discogs.com/artist/696048-The-Superlatives-3
