boba Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Lyrics "keep me close to your heart " is quite a nice tune on JWJ No, I don't think it's the same label. The lyrics is detroit and late 60s, the black essence is NY and like mid 70s. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) No, I don't think it's the same label. The lyrics is detroit and late 60s, the black essence is NY and like mid 70s. 1974 to be precise Bob. The label is named JWJ after the 'James Weldon Johnson Community Centre" originally based at 2205 First Ave New York. The JWJ centres still promoters music, the arts and Black culture and the record was part of a project to get young kids off the streets. JWJ wrote the 'anthem 'Lift Every Voice And Sing". A man way ahead of his time... as was our own Frank Elson who raved over this 45 in Blues & Soul... as a new release!
