get your general point, and it's a good one...but what about those that came out of pressing plants in the 60's/70's booted?...'Get a job', 'Maybe', Sam Cooke on Keen, etc.
Not everything gets "trapped".
Romeo Leroy Taylor was maybe ...'a bit of a boy' . His business intersts included Hollywood Talent Productions (with Carmelina) and Leroy's Bail Bonds to name two.
Hope it helps with your digging.
Northern Soul Connections #28
The Strange case of the Imaginations - Fraternity Records
It's time to visit another Northern Soul Connection - Ken drops in on a strange neighbourhood...
In the second half of 1967 a member of a young Dayton group went to see Tom Campbell to 'pitch' their plans, aspirations and dreams.
Tom Campbell was a radio personality at WONE and became a columnist at the Dayton Daily News. From the mid 60's to early 70's Tom ran 'Campbell's Corner' and 'Off-the-Cuff' news features giving prominence to local bands, and tit-bits on National bands, a 1 concerts, and general music gossip.
He gave the young band member a steer on who to see and what to do. By mid-November that same year, that band member, David Peoples had telephoned the Dayton News to tell them that the band had secured a first record deal with Harry Carlson's Fraternity records for Strange Neighborhood

I don't think so Graham. I know who the 'Sir John's' were, and they certainly have nothing to do with Funky 16 corners (Highlighters band, James Bell, et al), but go-ahead if you can make a connection with Leon, i'd like to see it.
chesk out Joey from Oldham ( just search) on here. As well as the other places, he was a regular (maybe semi-regular) i think. we spoke about it in some threads here at Soul Source.
yes that's him...although he's unlikely to be on the Josey 45. He was a native of Rochester, New York before moving to Florida in the late 80's. and the 45 preceeded his involvement in the band i think.( assuming the Josey 45 is 60's/70's)
there's much more to the colourful story of this band (and the folks involved in the band and the record label) that's interesting. The sides speak for themselves and another nice release Alan
