Old Document From Dotty's

[Guest]

Just found this while digging through some old memorabilia--a letter sent by Sonny Marshall of Dotty's to a club owner, promoting his roster of artists available for live shows. No date on it, but probably 1967. Anybody ever heard of Radio Slim? Sounds sort of like a blues name, but Together I Cry is a cool title.

That'a nice little piece of history Joe.

Not My Girl was Johnny Hampton's one and only record. The other great Dotty's 45 is by Gail Nevels--rarer than Johnny H., and a two-sider. There are a couple other things on the label that are cheaper and decent, but not nearly at the level of quality of these two. Same family of labels included Star Track and Whip, which include some nice stuff, too.

Hi Dave!

I'm not sitting on vast piles of great paper and photos, but I do have some other things I'll put up over the next few weeks.

I love this sort of thing, it gives us a much better picture of how the music business was run then. Any Dave Hamilton related stuff?

Thanks

makes you wonder how he slipped thru the net and wasn't picked up by someone else. whip as in carol anderson label? can't believe he never recorded again. or is it that it hasn't yet been discovered?great voice to boot!
