Here's another Discogs faux pas, I added the photo of Sharon Soul which is correct but look at the aliases they've listed, in particular 'Susan Phillips'...click on that name and you can clearly see the difference!!

This where my confusion came....both links saying the white guy is Hal Davis who worked with MOTOWN!!!!

and...
https://www.discogs.com/artist/160523-Hal-Davis
So who's in this picture....? Sources say it's Frank Wilson, Chris Clark and Hal Davis.
Also, this one say's it's Marc Gordon, Marvin Gaye and Hal Davis...
BUT and this is really the question, I thought THIS was HAL DAVIS....?????????????
I know what you mean about the 5mm gap at the top, these are usually the USA sleeves. Personally I try to keep USA sleeves with USA records and UK sleeves (usually cover the whole 45) with UK records, but that's just me being pedantic
Mel may be on there but it won't be this one. It'll either be his version of 'Better Use Your Head' or the great '(You've Got) The Power Of Love'.
BTW: I've just bought a copy of this oldie, pre Velvet Underground featuring Lou Reed and John Cale....
To be honest, the original post was only intended to find out the ethnicity of the artists I listed but I got a good lot of info about other artists, many who I had heard of sure but some gems I didn't know.
On reflection I should have changed the title to 'Are these artists white?', I guess the term Blue-eyed Soul is doing some of the artists a great favour as some of it is just 'pop' with a dancing beat and not Soul at all.
Ambassadors on Pee Vee, a great group who deserve the 'Blue-eyed Soul' tag.
Nabay was Indian/Asian I believe? Would he be considered on a list of blue-eyed soulsters? Let's not forget Thee Midniters, a Latino-American group who had a couple of brushes with Northern. Is there such a thing as 'Brown-eyed Soul'
Presume you are talking about Nightwatch 'Lips To Your Heart' ? I remember it all over East Anglia in the early 1980's. Always presumed it was a Wigan oldie?
I have this German 'Superiors' 45, unfortunately I don't have a sleeve for it. Presuming there is a picture sleeve?
Anyone able to supply a scan/photo?
Agree, the last 3 are great tracks (imo), Shirtails in my collection, with pic sleeve... other 2 a bit harder to obtain, of the many bands called The Traits, the lot you mentioned had Roy Head on lead vocals.
