Dave Moore Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 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. Cheers Ady

Paul McKay Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 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

Ady Croasdell Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I actually bought a copy off Juggy it was one of the few things he had left.
Soul Shrews Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 The label "J 2 " might be a bit of a giveaway too eh Dave ?............ Cheers Paul PS Does this mean we can look forward to a Juggy Murray feature in the next "Theres That Beat" ?

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! Too much crap wanging round this ole brain mate, can't see the wood for the trees! Thanks Guys, it's appreciated.
