Hi. I had an interview scheduled on my radio show today but I had to cancel it because the air conditioning in the air studio broke (it was over 90 degrees). The good news is that I did a good music show that you can listen to. You can listen at:

Thanks so much for supporting my show and the other people's shows on here. It's good to know that people are listening.

The love potion are from new york and cut a few doowop records. The record I played was originally released as the joytones on coed and later released as the love potion on kapp.

The inner circles is a rare cleveland record. The flip is a psychedelic instrumental that is indemand with funk collectors. The other record on that label is the first record by the elements, which is also really good.

The brown sugar inc. is from north carolina, I think they have a couple other records but no other group soul cuts.

The aristocrats are from Louisville, KY. The track is a dramatics cover (it's the flip of 'get up and get down'). The group toured as the moonglows in the 80s (harvey fuqua and the moonglows are also from louisville). All the group members are dead now. There is a second aristocrats on rondo that is a collectible funk 45 but it's not the vocal group, it's just an extra track the band cut during the session.

Jonah's whale is from seattle, the record I played is a dells cover. Their other record is actually a much better sweet soul cut. There are some pretty ridiculous pictures of the group here: https://pnwbands.com/jonahswhale.html

That double trouble record is a very obscure cincinatti record, pilot master is an AMG label subsidiary. It ends with a crappy guitar jam that I faded out. it's great up until that point.

The executive four 45 is from toledo, the flip is actually better, it's good sweet soul that i'll maybe play in a future show.

the image have a slightly more common but still good 45 on janus called 'betcha didn't know.' lead is charles russell, who is from texas (previously sang with the four dudes / three dudes) and who ended up in LA singing as the new image.

The record I played...

Thanks for all the additional info Bob - very interesting to learn more about some of those obscurish artists/records that you feature in your show.

ATB,
