Barry Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm sure I've posted this before but seeing as it has just popped into my head and can't remember if it's tru or not, I'll stick it down again. When I was a kid there was a US cop/detective series that I loved called 'Tenafly', played by James McEachin. I'm sure I read in a Blackbeat or Echoes or the like somewhere that James McEachin's recording pseudonym was James Mack of 'My World Is On Fire' fame. Anyone?

Guest Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Pretty sure this is the Jimmy Mack that produced tunes for Keyman; The Fury's etc. He was in "Any Which Way But Loose" with Clint Eastwood as well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Pretty sure this is the Jimmy Mack that produced tunes for Keyman; The Fury's etc. He was in "Any Which Way But Loose" with Clint Eastwood as well. Following his military career , James McEachin dabbled in the american civil services , first as a fireman and then a policeman , before he moved to California and became a record producer . He was known as Jimmy Mack in the industry . He produced , as you state , The Fury's for releases on Keymen , and for them on Mack IV ( " Never More " ) and World Pacific ( " Anything For You " )........ As to whether or not JM was THE Jimmy Mack who recorded " MWIOF " , I cannot confirm ........ He began his acting career shortly after , and was signed by Universal as a contract actor in the 1960s . He was regularly cast in professional , " solid citizen " occupational roles , such as a lawyer or a police commander . He guested on numerous series such as Hawaii Five-O , Mannix , and Dragnet . He played the deejay Sweet Al Monty in Play Misty for Me ( 1971 ) with Clint Eastwood . In 1973 , McEachin starred as Harry Tenafly, the title character in Tenafly , a short-lived detective series about a police officer turned private detective , who relied on his wits and hard work rather than guns and fistfights . He has semi retired from acting , and concentrates on writing . Malc Burton Edited February 15, 2009 by Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Yep Furys and Mack IV label geezer but not MWIOF that's a different chap. Thank you Mr C . JM moved to California to produce , and Keymen , Mack IV and World Pacific were all LA based labels , whilst Palmer had a connection with Mike Terry if I am correct .......

Barry Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 All this Soul shit aside, I was most upset when the series was cut. Tenafly was the boy. Just prior to S&H I think. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Wasn't the black guy who flew the helicopter in Magnum called Roger E. Mosley? Actually,whislt on about urban myths, saw a lovely pic sleeve release on joeboy of "The girls from U.N.C.L.E -"Agent for love" When did this sneak out, and who unearthed it finally laid the myth about there being a female vocal to the spy, or is it a tailor-made jobby? Sounded nice! (Can anyone post an mp3) Edited February 21, 2009 by Trevski Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sounded nice! (Can anyone post an mp3) Tailor made ......... This was posted by Neil Rushton on November 25th last year - " We did Girls From Uncle as a tongue in cheek tailor made for Joe Boy . New song sung by Midlands singer Jacqie Williams over " The Spy " instrumental and then the vocal and instrumental mixed down to make the new track . I gave it first spin at Ritz All - Nighter and Guy Hennigan ran over to ask what it was . We had permission from the owner of Swan catalogue to sample the instrumental and paid royalties etc .
