goldsoul represented producer Reid Whitelaw 2001-04 He told us of the connection between both groups

Cobblestone later turned into Magic Night on Roulette.

As the UK owner of the master 'You Don't Love Me' I can tell you a few things about this beautiful Double sider. Firstly, the group led by Bob Paladino were a Italian group from New Jersey. Both sides were cut in 1968 according to Tony Camillo who I spoke to at length just before SoultripUSA, 2006. I am yet to obtain a publicity shot, but Tony remarked that it was 'just another session' and another fantastic chapter in our beloved history. As for Bob, I did get a lead but it came to nothing. A member of Vito and the Salutations gave me a phone number only to get the 'the number you have dialled has been disconnected' I had hoped the group would be the cream in the coffee for the travelling UK faithful to Soultrip, New Brunswick, NJ....sadly it wasn't.....however the Del-larks made up for it.

It's unreleased from 1972. Kent discovered it as they were dealing with Fred James before Goldsoul. Unfortunately when we decided to run with it, the track had been pretty much used up, hence it didn't sell for us. We have about 8 copies left if anyone wants them at £5 each. Pay at orders@goldsoul.co.uk I think only Ace have the rights to it now,though the owner shows up on Google as a licensor....still. Brilliant track that will get much bigger. I regularly play it on Solar. Great discovery by Kent.

Not sure if anyone knows yet, but Viola Wills passed away yesterday. Recording for Bronco, Supreme and various UK labels, Vi had been living in Brighton for a few years until a recent move back to LA. She was a good friend of mine. Kev

Wrong Mal......the track along with 20 other masters were licensed by Fred James of Bluesland owners of Ref-o-Ree and Spar. Most

Well if we ever update the Top 500 book. Here's a neat piece of trivia from the original producer Lou Barretto. Jimmy Mcfarland cut it originally with the Tiaras on background vocals. Lou of course produced 'Gone With The Wind Is My Love' on Dore. Rita now lives in Georgia. Lou, now aware of the Northern scene, hopes to dig out a few rarities for us all to listen to. Hopefully he will link up with Kent or similar. Blowing My Mind To Pieces- Jimmy Mcfarland eh!

I saw it back in the 70's as a guest of my good friend Jerry Blavat, the legendary 'Geator with the Heator' DJ from Philadelphia, at one of his 'Record Hops'(over 30's handbag night to you and me). No idea how to do it, but it was a sort of line dance type thingy. For the record, Kenny Gamble and Jerry Ross wrote the song with JB in mind, as his hot play on Radio at the time was 'In My Lonely Room' -Martha and the Vandellas. The 81 is almost identical in melody. Apparently 'the ol geator' is still mixing the two together at one of his gigs in Feasterville, New Jersey on a weekly basis! More totally useless but hopefully entertaining trivia......soon. Now back to Hippo and his 69........(hello mate) Kev

Ady-It does look as if you have the correct information pressing wise. Frank revealed 1966 for Connie Clarke. Producers though, can have a lapse in memory. The Paris track certainly sounds '65 and Connie '66....well to me anyway. Recordings can be deceptive though, as we all discovered in Detroit with Mel Britt, when he revealed 1972 as the recording of his epic song. Most clearly thought 69/70. Kev

One thing is for sure......Denise knew nothing of Nolan! I interviewed Miss Laselle in 06 and spoke to Charles Davies aka Nolan Chance prior to his death. Both had no idea of any other versions! The wonderful and mysterious record business.

Recorded in June 1966 with Frank Wilson and Marc Gordon supervised by Hal Davies in Los Angeles. Contrary to reports, Connie is a session singer found by Frank. Earlier threads suggest it's 'Chris Clark'...which is untrue.
