Anoraks Corner Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Does anyone know what year this was released ? ? 1968. I have a mint- stock copy for sale if anyone fancies it...£200...bargain for such a classic slab of soul! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Nickinstoke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 The other side ("I'm gonna dedicate my song to you" - I think this was the A side) got a British release on President in 1968. It was put on the flip of a Freddie North single ("I have a dream"). What a shame they didn't release it in the original pairing. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It was put on the flip of a Freddie North single ("I have a dream"). What a shame they didn't release it in the original pairing. I've got the original Excello advert for this at home (from memory it's an Excello advert with a few other releases too) and "Sweetest" was indeed the "b" side. Will dig it out and post when I get home tonight.... Rich Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Roger Hatcher is Edwin Starr's cousin, I believe. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Anoraks Corner Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Brother of Willie Hatcher or cousin too?? Roger was indeed brother of Willie and cousin to Charles (Edwin Starr). He also recorded a disc on Dottys (Detroit) as Little Rodger Hatcher. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Apparently the connection between Roger and Charles "Edwin Starr" Hatcher is shrouded in mystery. Edwin Starr claimed they were not cousins, but it seemed to be in Roger's interest to infer that they were. One of those old rumours which become a 'fact' over time, it seems. Both had connections with Cleveland Ohio, Detroit and Nashville at similar times though and it is worth bearing in mind that the word 'cousin' often had a different meaning from its strict genealogical sense in the black communities of forty or fifty years ago.

Guest Paul Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Can anyone help with details of composer and publisher please? I need them so I can play it on the radio. Thanks in anticipation...... Nick The current UK publisher is Campbell Connelly & Co Ltd but they haven't registered a PRS claim to the song so any income will go into one of those black holes. :-) Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 He also recorded a disc on Dottys (Detroit) as Little Rodger Hatcher. But his finest hour (IMO) has got to be his US Brown Dog / UK Mint 45 "We're Gonna Make It". Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
