If this has been covered before please direct me as I could not see it Apart from David, can anyone please shed some "light" as to the missing members please ?

Dave

Outta sight reissued both Freddie and Dave in 2018 so they "must" know What a fantastic question m8, it appears that some have Dave Nunez as this guy, including me

Just a quirky thing and caused me all sorts of confusion until I accepted it

Bootlegs should be thrown in a skip and sent to another planet People who buy them may see them as reissues and not even realise they are counterfeits Some purchase hoping to play them at gigs and get away with it as they can't afford originals Some people are just daft

Different press ✤ = Decca or MCA Pressing Plant, Gloversville

Can you add image of the B side please so we can see where it was pressed

And it is even though it's a reissue

Indeed ◆ = Decca or MCA Pressing Plant, Pinckneyville for Johnny and ✤ = Decca or MCA Pressing Plant, Gloversville for Lee Roye

I think if you look on the reverse side there will be one of the following for different pressings, though not sure for this release ◆ = Decca or MCA Pressing Plant, Pinckneyville ✤ = Decca or MCA Pressing Plant, Gloversville ◈ = Decca or MCA Pressing Plant, Richmond

Black 100% boots this is demo

I Never knew Bob , like some others, but came across this photo of his record collection being "donated" Clearly a man who was lovely in life and his family lovely after his passing RIP and much respect

James Thorpe , I agree (as in the title of the thread) Perhaps like so many moved from Detroit to LA ?

I spotted the sale of the Jay T and wondered, connections ? James Thorpe with J J Barnes ?

Surfside Myrtle Beach South Carolina and Discogs have it as 1971 "US label from Rochester, NY. Also appears as "Lifetime" only. Lifetime Recordings was founded in 1952 by Lester W. Osband (1913-2009). As a local custom recording company, Lifetime recorded various Rochester High School bands, church choirs, etc. before launching his own Lifetime label in 1959 The initial release was by The Capris, a black vocal group, now a rare item."

10 years on and I was having a conversation with my mate and he drew me to this thread. He had a conversation in Manchester with the Funk Brothers and them travelling to Chicago for peanuts $$ to record including Jackie Wilson. Perhaps I missed it somewhere else so please send me if I did I didn't have to dig far to find even Robert Pruter sort of hinted https://www.britannica.com/topic/Its-All-Right-Chicago-Soul-1688338 Billy Davis had been Gordy’s songwriting partner before joining the artists-and-repertoire (A&R) staff at Chess, where he worked with most of the label’s roster, including Etta James and Sugar Pie DeSanto. Following the success of Gene Chandler’s “Duke of Earl” (1961), producer Carl Davis was appointed head of A&R for OKeh Records, where he recruited Mayfield to write for several artists including Lance. Davis then moved to Brunswick Records, where he produced one of Jackie Wilson’s finest records, “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher” (1967). He subsequently set up his own Dakar label, whose singles by Tyrone Davis—“Can I Change My Mind?” (1969) and “Turn Back the Hands of Time” (1970)—were classics of wistful regret. This from Wikipedia "The backing track was recorded on July 6, 1967 at Columbia's studios in Chicago. Produced by Carl Davis, the session, arranged by Sonny Sanders, featured bassist James Jamerson, drummer Richard "Pistol" Allen, guitarist Robert White, and keyboardist Johnny Griffith; these four musicians were all members of the Motown Records house band The Funk Brothers who often moonlighted on sessions for Davis to augment the wages paid by Motown. [better source needed] According to Carl Davis, the Funk Brothers "used to come over on the weekends from Detroit. They'd load up in the van and come over to Chicago, and I would pay 'em double scale, and I'd pay 'em in cash." Similarly, two members of Motown's house session singers The Andantes, Jackie Hicks and Marlene Barrow, along with Pat Lewis (who was filling in for Andantes member Louvain Demps), performed on the session for "Higher and Higher". Drummer Maurice White (better known as a singer for Earth, Wind & Fire) also played on the recording. Motown's Mike Terry played the baritone saxophone. (do I quote my mate who said they got $80 dollars and it cost $60)!!!

I may have solved a riddle ? It may have already been suggested and if so please send me to it As Jeremy Clarkson says "here's what I think" Andrew Kelly of the brothers Connections Norfolk Virginia, Dillard Crume, Fip Flop (Willie Stephen)

Just had a message from Shelly saying it wasn't her

I had it years ago but no longer, sorry

Happy New Year to you both My thread here A month ago on You Tube "I know Johnny and he's a great guy, he's now in his 70s, married with grown children and lives in Surfside Myrtle Beach South Carolina. If you like his music please enjoy it and share it, ask for it to be played by your radio stations...in remembrance of a time not long ago and not forgotten."

Not a myth bet only some copies had the freebies In John Manships quote above "In the mid- 70's I did come across a few copies of this album still-sealed in Philadelphia only twice did it still have the 45 staring back at me from behind the cellophane." It reminds me of my kids trying to get the hologram cards out of a packet of Pokemon cards

It would never have been released without the group name on it, unless it was in the LP sleeve only
