Citizen P Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Obviously had some connection to Jack Ashford when you see some of the stuff he did , covers of I'm gone, Crying Clown --Do It, the almost instrumental of September Jones. So just wondering if anyone has any info?? Was he Jacks Demo Singer?? Eddie Parker avoiding the Tax Man or What? Thanks Tony
Sebastian Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) There doesn't seem to be much info about him out there. A thing which has intrigued me for a while is that at the end of the following clip of the MC5 playing "The American Ruse" on a TV show called The Lively Spot": Download Video Youtube Link The presenter says something along the lines of: "stay tuned for more performances by Little Milton, Billy Sha-Rae, Little Milton amongst others" So... who's got this entire show? There might very well exist TV footage of Billy and I'd really like to see it. Edited July 17, 2007 by Sebastian
Pete S Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 There's a photo of Billy Sharae in There's That Beat 3 or 4, it's a promo photograph.
Soulof Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Eddie Parker avoiding the Tax Man or What? X Quiet sure this is not the case. Diff voices I think

Citizen P Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Crikey. I knew there was much info around about him. But, there obviously less than I thought Tony
Sebastian Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 There's a photo of Billy Sharae in There's That Beat 3 or 4, it's a promo photograph. Can anyone scan it, please?
Eddie Hubbard Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Obviously had some connection to Jack Ashford when you see some of the stuff he did , covers of I'm gone, Crying Clown --Do It, the almost instrumental of September Jones. So just wondering if anyone has any info?? Was he Jacks Demo Singer?? Eddie Parker avoiding the Tax Man or What? Thanks Tony I remember in an interview with Richard Searling , Jack Ashford said that Billy had a good voice , but lacked the stage presence of Eddie Parker .Hope this helps ,Best ,Eddie
Dave Moore Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Can anyone scan it, please? Oiy! Buy the mag you tight git! Or should we just publish one copy and everyone copy it? Sheeesh! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
Sebastian Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Oiy! Buy the mag you tight git! Or should we just publish one copy and everyone copy it? Sheeesh! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com I get your point, but honestly, it's a photo (I hope you own the right to print/publish it by the way...? ) not part of the text which you've written. Posting a scan of the photo from your mag doesn't make me NOT want to buy your magazine.
Guest andyrattigan Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Billy Sha Rae's version of IM GONE is superb. Much better than Eddie Parker's version IMO.
Sean Hampsey Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 If you really want to know everything there is to know about Billy Sharae, Tony, contact his son Billee Wilson. His email address is fathersdream40@aol.com Sean

Soulof Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Billy Sha Rae's version of IM GONE is superb. Much better than Eddie Parker's version IMO. x IMO Eddie Parker still is the best track ever made. Its maybe a safe and boring opinion but still sound so powerful. If you tired of it just rest it for a while and put it on again and its magic again. without it could have liked Billys version (that fuzzy organ destroys a bit though me thinks) now its hard. No shadow should fall over Billy its not bad being beaten by the best. Prefer the Hesitations - thats what love is before Sha-rae. Any other versions with same backing ??
pikeys dog Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Haven't seen Pitfall mentioned yet. Magic record Quite rare though eh Chalky? Not one that pops up on eBay for $5 often is it?
