the ambassadors hit with their awesome version on arctic too

Among other things, I collect kiddie soul records. Here are two records on major labels that I have as promos, I just need them as issues so I can get the flip. I don't think these are anything, just sort of random records, but I'd like to get them: Jeffrey Graham + family connection on Buddah (must have "can you remember" side). Brother to Brother on Win or Lose (must have "I gotta situation" side). thanks, Bob

sad girl was the hit, happy girl was an answer record that didn't do anything. ps. is that your bird? If so, I like your bird

this came out on cameo

nice clip. it's crazy that this is a clip of "happy girl", her last and rarest arctic 45. Everyone in the youtube comments are confused because they can't figure out what song it is! Why would they make a video for a song when they didn't even promote the record?

nice clip. in the US, this was probably his biggest hit next to "it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday".

that was so awesome, I hadn't seen that. Here's smokey doing "you really got a hold on me" with the letter U:

awesome sweet soul flip on the carstairs...

Matt, you know that was Zulema's first group before faith hope and charity? It's the same Florida group as on Brent.

you know gene chandler's song is a cover of james brown right? it sounds like you're saying james is doing a version of gene

I'm still looking for a US copy (must have the flip on it). If anyone has one to sell, please PM me. Thanks.

The chicago intensions (with an s) are from the west side of chicago, and are different from the mandells, who are also from the west side of Chicago. The carpets are from kansas city. Just filling in some details. There's no st. louis involved. Thanks.

ok, sorry. can you post a soundclip of the perfect love so I've heard it?

The guy singing lead on the flip is Terry Thompson, cousin of Marshall of the Chilites, by the way

I was going to bid on that Marlynns but it just went to high. One thing that's funny about the record is that he had it listed as "male group harmony" or something like that, but it's a WOMAN singing lead on the record. The woman is Sheryl Henry, later lead of the south shore commission (singing 'we're on the right track'). There's a guy singing lead on the flip, though.

that is not true (it's not a previously unreleased recording). It is the track "sure as the stars shine" that got released on 3rd world. they may have thought it was previously unreleased but it's not. The 3rd world 45 is worth about $300, funk collectors look for it for the other side. Actually, I'm just saying this, as I haven't heard the version on the kent cd, but it's likely that they just got the "sure as the stars shine" cut (which sounds like it's titled perfect love) and released it as "previously unreleased". If someone has a clip from the kent CD, I will listen and confirm whether or not it is the same.

yes, I was the first person to make that point, I was asking if you were disagreeing, I guess not. ps. i get confused reading your posts, I think they're by me!

are you trying to imply that they're not second issues?

thanks a lot

this used to be around, it usually comes as an avco promo with the same song "take my hand" on both sides. It's much harder to get with the flip (which is actually a crappy ballad, and I collect sweet soul but I still prefer the "take my hand side"). It took me a while to get it with the flip, I guess the promos have also dried up now too.

I play it near the start of this radio show: www.sittinginthepark.com/4-15-2007.mp3

he told me one of the movies got shown on telemundo so i guess they're popular to some extent. i will ask around at maxwell street, i think there's always a few dvd vendors.

as long as we're posting scans, here is a scan of my copy of the odd label on one of the twilights 45s. The other twilights just has the orange label with the rounded logo:

awesome, I knew you might be the person to ask about mexican records, but I never got a chance to email you. Any idea where to get the movies he mentions? Those sound awesome.

based on the voice, it has to be the moments or ray goodman brown, but I don't know the tune
