also, there is a pharoahs 45 on capitol...

The other day I was looking at the wikipedia page and it says it's just 3 members (one of which was their main male singer Wade Flemons). I always was told it was just the Pharoahs (who evolved into EWF). Also, there is more than one salty peppers 45, I would have to pull out the records to check, but there are two on capitol, one that first got released on the DC label TEC. If you look at the general crook 45s on capitol the same Pharoahs / Salty Peppers dudes played on it and probably sang backup. "You know what" is the good side imo.

i was leaving my radio show today (which I ended up not doing because a mixup where someone else thought they were doing it and I let them do it...). I hung out for the whole thing though. As I was leaving and about to get into my car, this car pulls up with a guy driving and a woman in the car and asks where the radio station is. I told them that it was right there. They parked and came up to me, the guy was like "I'm homer talbert are you bob abrahamian?" and I told him that I didn't recognize him at all (he looked totally different) and he said he didn't recognize me at all either which was weird, we hung out a bunch of times (homer sang in some groups and was a songwriter, he wrote "ain't understanding mellow"). The woman turned out to be Sherry Scott, original lead singer of earth wind and fire and the singer on their first hit. She was coming up to the dance show to promote her new house record. I talked to her for a while, she was super nice, she said she would listen to my show next week and I told her I would play her record. So I just pulled up the record on youtube: and it's the same song I was recently selling by a female group called Essence. Except I didn't realize it was a cover. I hate when people don't know a song is a cover of a hit, I feel like an ass. Nobody emailed me letting me know though...

Hi Naoya. Probably just a typo but the label is Vimla. The label owner doesn't have copies btw. The label Zelia (which had the group stage 3) is the same label.

maybe i'm getting confused about the label and it was on leno or odex. sorry.

I'm pretty sure I've heard the other one a while ago, it was in a local record store and I played it, it was just random deep soul so I passed.

this is one of the records that people used to think was ultra-rare until ebay came along. bob miner still thinks it's really rare and deosn't believe how many copies i've seen for sale.

it's a neighborhood in seattle

also, both ebonic sound 45s were recorded live at Phil Cohran's Affro-Arts Theater

p.s. not like the loser music teachers today, especially the ones near australia

That was the Pharoahs' label not their label. The song is supposed to be the Grunchions song, it's mistitled on the 45 (it's Herb Kent speech, they explain what it means in the interview). They had two more records, they are exactly the same group as Teacher's Edition on Hi. It's one of the better interviews on my site, definitely worth listening to. They were all schoolteachers (mostly music teachers) btw.

not doubting that it's "northern soul" but it's not soul. the band is even known as a white garage band amongst people into garage who compile facts about different local scenes.

I was the second bidder on the jam-cha record just up, got outbid by a big name DJ. The first one that came up I didn't even bid on because it had a crack. All the jam-cha records sound like crap. I got the west coast distributors for cheap, that record isn't even soul, don't understand the demand for that and glad i didn't pay more.

that's awesome that ebay told you, they usually don't tell you what they will do to other people's accounts. you probably have to ship the record to him in a trackable, provable way, because he's definitely going to do a paypal chargeback on his payment. Actually the best thing to do is just not send it, mark it as shipped, he will do a chargeback as item not received, he will get his money back, and you won't be penalized.

I understood what he did, except I didn't know that he actually paid money for the record, paying just to leave you a negative.

make sure you file a non paying bidder in ebay

sort by date in popsike and look at the trend, it makes more sense after that

R A Pittman is Robert A Pittman. E Cherry is Eddie Cherry. I interviewed Eddie Cherry. The Bricklayers are the same chicago group as the Fads on Mercury.

I don't think anyone was trying to censor responses, I think he was just questioning the point of the same repeated response

when i was in the 5th grade i had a dub of a def leppard tape

I can't find audio of it, but this record really takes "summertime" to another place: https://www.discogs.com/Sojourner-Truth-Summertime-Groove-Me/release/2646006

of course 99% of soul covers of pop songs are garbage. I don't even think they're usually crossover attempts -- they're usually album fillers or 45 b-sides (the ones on the a-side are possible crossover attempts). Lots of pop cover a-sides aren't even crossover attempts, they're covers of pop records that were popular on R&B radio and with R&B audiences. Like everyone loved "make it with you", and there are 9 billion covers of it, but I've never heard a soul version better than the original. I would think this thread is about covers that transform a pop hit (especially a crappy pop hit) into a new, excellent sound. I like the isley's version of summer breeze way better than the original, but it's not really an inherent change to me. But Isaac Hayes 20+ minute version of "by the time I get to phoenix" is totally flipping the original song (like it or not, it's totally different). My favorite rock album of all time is pretty much all covers ... they even make nature boy sound good.

and the two fabulous tempos. it's from richmond va

are you sure it's the same salem? there was a nat brown that recorded in the new york area. do you have a scan?

maybe that's what good about it. not saying the record is bad, just saying that it leaves you wanting more and if it was longer it might not have as much repeat listen value.
