Poets


Recommended Posts

I'm aware of the two different groups:

1. Sue/Symbol

and

2. Red Bird/RCA as The Insiders and then Main Ingredient

Both these groups hail from NYC as far as I know.

Here's the question...

Did the Sue/Symbol group record Wrapped Around Your Finger on J-2? I always presumed that the J-2 group were white? I've been told that the Sue/Symbol Poets and the J-2 Poets are the same group? Anyone confirm this for definite?

TIA.

Not for definite but they were also a Juggy recording so highly likely.

Hi Dave

Don't know for sure personally but the Soul Harmony singles book reckons the J2 Poets are the same as the Symbol group. Members: Ronnie Lewis, Melvin Bradford, Paul Fulton & Johnny James.

Regards

Paul

Thanks Paul. Looks like they may be one and the same. Well I never!

The label "J 2 " might be a bit of a giveaway too eh Dave ?............ :thumbsup:biggrin.gif

Cheers Paul

PS Does this mean we can look forward to a Juggy Murray feature in the next "Theres That Beat" ?

Possibly, but it was really just that I couldn't believe they were the same group. The Symbol 45s and the J-2 don't sound alike to me at all. J-2! What a plonker! :D Too much crap wanging round this ole brain mate, can't see the wood for the trees! :ohmy:

Thanks Guys, it's appreciated.
