"The Fantasia" ??? Please tell us more about this massively popular Northern Soul venue of the early 70's ???

Yes, the RCA LP and two RCA 7" releases are the work of Freddie Paris. As far as I can ascertain he made no other recordings. Not sure if he is still alive.

It has been a common misconception for a long time but the "Freddie Paris" who recorded an LP and two single releases on RCA in 1967 - including "There She Goes" - is a completely different person from the "Fred" Parris (two "r's" in his surname) who has just passed and who was far better known as the lead singer of RnB/Doo-Wop legends The Five Satins ("In The Still of the Night")and who later recorded those great sides on Green Sea, Buddah etc. That being said, the Fred Paris who recorded on RCA also spent some time in Australia in the late 60's and was a popular performer in the clubs and on TV. Here he is on Australian TV from 1965 performing "Point of No Return".

also on Beverley's and UK Wirl which appears to be the toughest to find together with the NZ release on Philips (earlier in the thread) .

C'mon still wanted please !!! DOTY ROY : You Got My Boy !!!

Great photo ... and clearly from the Mod/Suedehead period '69-'72 .... c'mon Soul Source members: you must have more photos of the Cats from this era to post up on here .

Actually Kev, Farnham's version was released in Australia in 1974 (and only ever released in Australia and New Zealand) which places it after John Miles' release from 1973. Also Vanda & Young were based in the UK from 1970 to 1973 and were very likely shopping their songs around primarily to artists in the UK and Europe at the time and Miles in fact had already released two singles in the UK previously to "One Minute" which were also Vanda - Young compositions. John Miles' version of "One Minute" was never released in Australia, so one suspects that once his version became a hit in the UK in 1973, Vanda and Young and the music publisher placed it with an artist like Farnham in order to try to also get a hit with it in Australia and New Zealand. All of which is to say that John Miles version surely is the original version.

Wanted please !!! DOTY ROY : You Got My Boy EXC or better condition preferred . Cheers !!!

John Miles RIP

Great photo but judging by their hair styles and clothes, this would surely have to be post 1971 ?

The Kenny Young record may have been a fave of Dave Godin's and possibly name checked in one of his Blues and Soul columns '69-'71 so conceivably it might have been played as an ender at The Catacombs or Wheel during that same time frame. Showmen and Dee Clark too would have made sense at the Catacombs and Wheel before stompers dominated the scene at the Torch from '72 onwards to the end of the seventies. As for Victor Knight, can't see that fitting in ... and, incidentally, it comes a distant second to Clyde McPhatter's version.

Still looking for this ; someone out there ?

Great shot ... c'mon original Cats attendees ... there must me more photos from the '68-'72 era especially ... post 'em up here !

Domar knew his stuff so that looks like positive evidence at the very least that it was played back in the day. But should that really surprise as the Cats has gone down in soul folklore as a venue that thought outside the square than most clubs from those golden years. Also if it was a "secret sound" then presumably there was a cover up name ? Anyone ?

LOL ! That's gold ... gold soul in fact !

WANTED: Bo Jr "Coffee Pot" on Tail-Gate Records Original only, no reissues. EX or better condition. £ 600 waiting for you

While we're on the subject of the Cats, if anyone has any photos from those early days, please post them up on here ... especially the '68 - '72 years

Wanted : the 7" vinyl release

No doubt, the Delegates of Soul is a great record but the Charles Mintz version is even better and by far the rarest of the two (for those for whom rarity matters)

A little off topic Kev ... but do you have any idea what happened to Jimmy Bishop ? He seemed to literally disappear off the face of the earth circa 70's and no one, not even is closest associates, have ever been able to account for his disappearance.

For what it's worth , another theory on 45cat site: https://www.45cat.com/record/k13568 jukebox george 7th Sep 2019 The 1966 Copyright filings are for How Can I Find The Way + On You Heart Ache Looks Good. BMI.com has the Composer names as Wayne Nathan Wadhams, Donald Edward Askew, and Kenny Karen Ancestry.com does not have a Gavin Bernstein, lending credence to the comments below that the Producer credit is incorrect. This 45 is not mentioned in the pages of Carole Bayer Sager's memoir available on google books; the memoir has details on Sherry Harway. One comment suggests this duo were neighborhood friends of The Fifth Estate. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ davie gordon 19th Apr 2018 I think you're right about "Gavin Bernstein" being two people, one of them being Kevin Gavin. Gavin was the producer for The "D" Men, the original name for The Fifth Estate. There's also a publishing connection as Waterview Music is credited on all The "D" Men's records. Bernstein might be Herb Bernstein but I'm not certain, I'd guess there were quite a few Bernsteins involved in the business. I'd bet Carol and Gerri is Carole Bayer Sager of Carol And Sherry with a new partner as Sherri Harway quit the business after getting married. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ jukebox george 19th Apr 2018 Prod. by Gavin Bernstein for Don Costa Prod., Inc. This seems to be the only credit for "Gavin Bernstein" so this might be two different names and the label is missing a hyphen in between. The songwriters are associated with The Fifth Estate and some of their earlier 45s are Produced by Kevin Gavin.
