Guest vinylvixen Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) so...on youtube there is a clip for 'til you were gone' and the record shown says 'frank wilson and the miracles'. but i can't find info on it anywhere. what is the story? was it ever reissued? thanks! OK - here goes. I compiled the Soul Satisfaction series of CDs from 2-5. The Frank Wilson track first appeared incorrectly creditted on the US CD Anthology of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. I listened really carefully and thought that Smokey was singing with a nasty attack of sinus. So I got in touch with the Motown tape library in the States to dig the tape out and look at the credits on the tape tin....I got an email back saying they couldn't find the Smokey version but would the Frank Wilson version do The upshot is that this was a demo version of the song that Frank was trying to pitch to Smokey and even got a couple of the Miracles to do backing. There isn't a Smokey version and now you have the full story from me, Jo Wallace, soul sleuth Edited November 3, 2008 by vinylvixen

The Motown Anthology featured the track but creditted it to Smokey Robinson. The first time it appeared with the correct artist showing as 'Frank Wilson' was on my CD, Soul Satisfaction 3....

I forgot to say that it NEVER EVER came out on vinyl and was only available as a demo tape....I've never seen a promo copy - there could've been studio acetates for reference purposes but I've never seen one of those either - and I've been very 'intimate' with this track for some years

(i can't read the title/artist on it). thanks for your help.
