Gilly Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 A friend told me I do know it as he played one side at an event and I went up to have a look, they would of come out of Lou Beatty's basement alongside stock of the La Beat 45s also many damaged

Hi Robb Thanks to Gilly, yes (he still hasn't said how he knows though !!!) I only sort of picked it up from the credit on"Modern Day Woman" (which he apparently wrote with James Shorter on the LP) it credits him. Of course on the single by James, it is completely different writers credits (just to make this more complicated) and that's another story I guess Edited February 3, 2019 by Blackpoolsoul Image
Gilly Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Spelling mistakes are not uncommon, if you look at the MAS-TER label it says ERQUHART but on the ABC LP its spelt EQUEHART. Other example SILKY HARGREAVES or SILKY HARGRAVES

It stands to reason that he shortened his real name to the "catchy" name, "Heart" (and trying "Hart", as well), for his stage name, which is a lot more easy to remember and pronounce. 1

What do you think about the credits for the song ? would the LP version just be a big mistake
Chalky Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 It tells you in the Catalogue of Entries that Don Hart is a pseudo for Donald Erquhart. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=HkMhAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA669&lpg=PA669&dq=Donald+Erquhart+don+hart&source=bl&ots=vgK5jmRQFJ&sig=ACfU3U277Jat0RTN-eAV0U82TRNPkV8GOg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi58_qbmaDgAhWEsnEKHaABCw4Q6AEwCHoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=Donald Erquhart don hart&f=false
Gilly Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 interesting, if you look on BMI Rep Modern day woman is listed twice Bridges, Eaton, Knight. and again J Shorter, D Hart

Same story with Darrell Banks as you know Rob Darrell Eubanks might not sound so catchy
