May 7, 200718 yr Cheers chaps, I've PM'd him Have you noticed the similarity between 'Oh Baby' and 'One Dance' by the Classics on YAN G (B'side to So glad that I found you). Is there any connection between the two groups or just a case of two groups from the same city sharing a good idea for a backing track? Anyway, I'm straying off my own thread here Can anyone help with the Oliver Norman and Lovations tracks please? Ferrett

Ferrett "one dance" and "oh baby" are exactly the same song but there's no connection between the two groups (except that they are both southside of Chicago). Billy McGregor wrote it, and Gerald Dickerson of the creations confirmed that Billy should have had writing credit on the creations 45 even though he doesn't.

May 8, 200718 yr Agrosoul said: Boba, Do you know if McGregor was in the Yan-G Classics outfit? McGregor was definitely NOT in the classics on yan-g and he remembers little about them. The classics were a high school group, went to englewood high school. McGregor is much older, he was in a group in the 50s and early 60s. His group was the Antennas on Clay, who are also exactly the same group as Shirley and the Squires on Constellation and who are the backing group of Perk Lee on Boss, but somehow are NOT the Squires on Boss (I think the label did something funny...). The Squires also included George McGregor, not the detroit George (who was Billy's cousin), but Billy's brother George (who had a record on Twinight backed by the Bronzettes). Billy went solo after writing "mr. shy", which was originally supposed to be a ruby andrews song, but Don Clay asked him to sing it himself. I'm still badly looking for a copy of shirley and the squires on constellation, or even a recording, to give to the group members. Thanks.
May 8, 200718 yr Here's an Oliver Norman (real name "Norman Oliver" I once heard!) on Brady's list: https://www..co.uk/product_detail.asp?id=6083 It's got a good flipside as well, by the by.
May 8, 200718 yr Never mind, "once heard" -- he appears as "Norman Oliver" in the writing credits. Wonder what he's doing now. Probably a chartered surveyor living in Surrey.

May 11, 200718 yr Oliver Norman and Creations safely received now. Thanks Rod and Pat. Was surprised to see Oliver Norman was recorded in England. How did that happen then? Is he english? The missus says it sounds like 'Bernadette' by the Four Tops. I reckon she's right too Anyone got a Lovations out there????? Ferrett
