  1. Wow that would be great all we need to find out is a bio.......if we can
  2. That's 2 people who think it may be
  3. This lady has a major songwriting influence for Motown and others including Dusty Springfield There seems to be little information on her career anywhere Has any one got a photo of her and a bio please Her sister Liz is well now on the Soul Scene for this and she wrote for Marvin Gaye, Isley's Etc.
  4. As a young man I wiggled my ass to this tune and wonder now 40 years on why he wasn't documented, but that happens so much I guess I am just on a mission to credit Timmie Williams with what he deserves and hope someone somewhere knows
  5. Label was owned by Gil Calbot in Tampa, Florida, he moved it later to Hollywood
  6. Thanks Robb, I thought might have been Detroit, as it is 1965 and so Timmie could perhaps be identified, but I stand corrected
  7. So many times played and I have never bothered to find out who he was / Is I do know the production was Harry Balk and it certainly sounds like it was recorded in Detroit Would love to know after 43 years
  8. Thanks Do we know anything about this label
  9. I have just picked this up and it looks like a bootleg There are 3 more records listed on 45cat on the label but no info as to their history Advice please
  10. I spoke to Ray Dahrouge a few years back and all his copies had gone He was gutted that he let them all go and I had a spare bootleg and he said he would like it as a keepsake so I posted it to him.
  11. Does anyone have any info on TJ and/or the band ? Played lots but can find no info.
  12. After doing some hunting on the web, I thought I would share this info I found about this tune that had been bugging me for years Scotty Todd was the lead singer for Scotty Todd and The Toddsmen from Benson, North Carolina USA After leaving the music business he became as pastor of Engle Wood Assembly of God in Rocky Mount NC, until resigning in 1989 A few years later he started Benson First Assembly of God in Benson NC. He passed while preaching a sermon in 2003.
  13. I know it's been ages 10 years and I am new to soul source but, I reckon it might just be this Gentleman and he came out on one of the Kent CD's https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesunion/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=158626213 https://acerecords.co.uk/j-s-harlem-soul
  14. It's a long time since one came up for sale Last one I saw that sold was VG+ was £550 There was one listed recently on here for a "bag of sand"
  15. I have been searching the web to try and find out who this gentleman may have been He recorded a few singles One on Palmer, 3 on Hi-Lite and one on REM Records to my knowledge I found this on the web which may or may not be him https://deathnotices.michigan.com/view-single.php?id=76561&token= Some of his tunes were probably not the greatest records to exist, but he should perhaps be known about
  16. I always ask the questions ....Test Played? or please send me a sound file
  17. Cheers for that I know it's a little of tangent, but didn't know if you knew about the lawsuit Harry's publishing company has been involved in. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/may/30/rodriguez-accused-misrepresentation-searching-for-sugar-man
  18. Rick, it's getting cold here and I feel a chill in my bones
  19. Is this link correct about the label https://www.globaldogproductions.info/b/bonnie.html
  20. Didn't Duke convert to Islam and that resulted in a distance from music, due to faith....was I dreaming or did I read that somewhere in my long last past
  21. I was hunting around about the label and found this ? https://www.globaldogproductions.info/b/bonnie.html
  22. Ooh can't wait....that will be in my collection.....you won't sign it though and make it worth less, will you
  23. When Harry met Barney it was a match made in heaven – that’s Hary Balk and Barney “Duke” Browner. The Duke had worked with Harry since the early sixties on other labels inlcuding American Arts where he wrote “Walk On InTo My Heart” for Bobbie Smith. But he really hit his stride at Impact alongside Harry and John Rhys. Eventually the three would make the move to Motown but not before the Duke struck paydirt with his Northern Soul anthem “Crying Over You”
