I should mention that James Kelly Duhon was a member of The Ascots of Just A Few Feet From The Gutter fame with Talmadge Armstrong and Anthony Guillory. Not to Be confused with the other group of the same name on Mir-A-Don etc.

that is interesting, I always thought the american playboy group was white, it sounds white to me. I know there's an LP but I haven't seen it to see if the members are pictured there. Is it an all-Black group? Thanks.

Are the (F.F.F.T.G.) Ascots a southern states group then? And Ken Johnson...who he?

Ta for now, Buey

Yes, Bob, definitely three African-Americans. Their album is pretty good and contains quite a few tracks which are a bit better than Gutter.

The sleevenotes from the Color Me Soul album:

"A certain portion of South Louisiana and southeast Texas is known to many as "Bayou Land". Many recording artists such as Rod Bernard, B.J. Thomas, Ramona Jones, Jessie Langford, Barbara Lynn, The Sir Douglas Quintet, Roy Head and many many more gained their popularity in the southern part of our country. NOW COMES Talmadge Armstrong, A.C. Gillory and James Kelly Duhon carrying a soulful message through a togetherness called the ASCOTS.

You will find the real taste of the bayou with tunes like "A Few Feet From The Gutter" (not actually on the album), "The Graveyard Creep" and other selections that will fit a certain part of your backbone and make you search for a movement that you will surely find in this L.P.

Huey P. Meaux, the veteran producer extra-ordinary, has again made another showing of his talents (something that's becoming "old-hat" to himself) as he joined hands with Ken Johnson and the ASCOTS to bring to you many hours of listening (and far-out dancing) enjoyment.

Beth Thornton & Jimmy Jones"

Ken Johnson is listed as Arranger and Lyric Composer. On Talmadge Armstrong's singles on Spindletop the group is listed as The Escotts.

Both this album and the American Playboy single basically never left the Meaux wharehouse at the time of release (77-78). When old Huey was locked up for a long time on various charges the remaining contents of his record empire was divided up between a few big-time US record dealers, Craig Moerer among them, and this was the source of the relatively recent hit of the single and album.

Thanks for the info. The person I knew who had all the copies of the ascots was Terry Gesten from Ohio (sendfor45s on ebay). I don't know if he has any left. I bought one from him eventually but unfortunately not when he was selling it for $75 and couldn't get a bid!
