This is a notorious porky.
Patrice Holloway was the lead singer of Josie and the Pussycats and Brenda went out with Willie Hutch when she was 14.
Grandma from the Beverly Hillbillies recorded as Granny Ryan on Motown.
Diana Ross and the Supremes recorded Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport (for an ill fated album called something like 'Motown Sings Songs From Around The World')... Bet THAT never sees the light of day.
Joannie Mae Matthews gave up recording to concentrate on promoting the careers of her son and daughter and their group - Black Nasty.
Sky Saxon, legendary loony front man of the Seeds, toured the southern states in the early-mid 60's as an RnB performer calling himself Little Richie - it's long been said that he was white - but is he the same one????????
My favourite BS story was that Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels were then group inside the Banana Splits suits - don't you just wish it was true!
