Tony Smith Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Was there more than one Detroit Sound label or just different designs? Also, does anyone know anything about this release? Used to get plays back in the late 80's/early 90's decent enough, although probably a little too garage-y for most. Edited January 4, 2007 by Tony Smith

Guest Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Was there more than one Detroit Sound label or just different designs? Also, does anyone know anything about this release? I'm sure there was a discography of the label in an issue of "DETROIT CITY LIMITS" will check to see if i still have the issue in the morning. Derek

Guest Trevski Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Sequins deffo different label design, nowhere near as pretty!
Ady Croasdell Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 That Robert Walker's gotta be white whereas I met a black Robert Walker in LA who reckoned he'd done Stick By Me but I can't remember what that sounds like.
Guest Brian Ellis Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Robert Walker - everything is all right 10575 refosoul Mitch Ryder soundalike methinks? Brian
Ady Croasdell Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 And that chap wrote the Hit Pack's Never Say No To Your baby with Robert Staunton who wrote some stuff for Motown but LA or Detroit. Were the Hit Pack black or white, anyone got a US scan?

Anyone heard any of the 2xx numbers in the list? Surley the Seqins is a totaly different label, the different number and label design?
Geoff B Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Was there more than one Detroit Sound label or just different designs? Also, does anyone know anything about this release? Different label this part of DE-TO THE SHOWSTOPPING SUPER SONICS EAR ACTION(FUNK) / WHAT KIND OF GIRL IS SHE (NICE SOUL) detroit sound records.
Chalky Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) Thanks Chalky. Anyone heard any of the 2xx numbers in the list? Surley the Seqins is a totaly different label, the different number and label design? The Sequins Detroit Sound is part of the Deto and Music Now label set up. It also seems that Tay is also related. Share the same address (9846 12th Street) both Taylor and Turner productions and Lovenote publishing. Also both written by one of the Brooks family. If they are different labels then there was two Detroit Sound Recording Co's operating around the same time??? Edited January 6, 2007 by chalky
Chalky Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Just had a dig and the Detroit Sound Recording Company consisting of Brooks Brothers and Sequins is from 1966 and owned by Taylor and Turner Productions. The other Detroit Sound is owned by Irv Steiner and began life in 1967.
Guest Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 As far as I know these were the two companies in question - The DETROIT SOUND RECORDING Co. Owner Jack Taylor 9846 12th St. Detroit 48213. Connected to Tay & Awake, with just the one 45 by the Sequins. DETROIT SOUND Recording Co. (1966-67) Owner Irv Steiner 12730 E Warren Detroit 48215, with all of the artists mentioned earlier. I have never seen any tangible evidence that they were in any way connected. There were various labels all using the name of the city - DETROIT GOLD DETROIT INTERNATIONAL DETROIT STAR DETROIT TRAKS DETROIT UNIVERSAL I suppose DETROIT FREE PRESS too. These were Soul labels, there will undoubtedly be others that covered C&W, Pop, Polka, Garage etc. Keith Rylatt
Robbk Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 From our discussion on Soulful Detroit, including Ron Murphy and other Detroiters who were around at the time, we concluded that The Jack Taylor-owned "Detroit Sound" was earlier, and had no relation to the Steiner-owned company with the similar name.
Gilly Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 The Detroit Sequins later added a member and were renamed The Lolipops under Duke Browners supervision
Guest Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) And that chap wrote the Hit Pack's Never Say No To Your baby with Robert Staunton who wrote some stuff for Motown but LA or Detroit. Were the Hit Pack black or white, anyone got a US scan? I`v e always had a feeling that they may have been one of the Motown house bands, nothing but speculation about them but the lead singer to my ears sounds like Ronald Isley! Robert Dobyne has very similar vocals. Definately not the same line up as The Hit Pack on Colpix who also had the Staunton/Walker partnership a year earlier. Edited February 14, 2015 by Guest
Dazz Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks Chalky. Anyone heard any of the 2xx numbers in the list? Surley the Seqins is a totaly different label, the different number and label design? They are mostly Garage records mate.
Robbk Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) And that chap wrote the Hit Pack's Never Say No To Your baby with Robert Staunton who wrote some stuff for Motown but LA or Detroit. Were the Hit Pack black or white, anyone got a US scan? The Hit Pack were, apparently, Staunton and Walker's group - a vehicle to get their songs out on the market, perhaps as a "demo" to be picked up by a major artist to garner more sales for the writing team (Robert Staunton and Robert Walker). It was a combination of a house band and singers. On Colpix in New York, in 1964, the singers were Caucasian (I think the musicians were mixed). They worked with Artie Kornfeld, making Pop music for the teen/surf cult. After Staunton and Walker were signed by Berry Gordy to Motown (1965-66), Staunton and Walker used Black singers, with Robert Dobyne (of Chicago) on lead (and, I believe, with Staunton and Walker, themselves, as the background singers), and they worked in Detroit. After some months with Motown, Staunton and Walker had a big problem with Gordy on producer credits, and Gordy and Dobyne had a falling out, as well. So their tenure at Motown was a lot shorter than it might have been. Edited February 16, 2015 by RobbK
