According to the liner notes of "Tammi Terrell- Come On And See Me- The Complete Solo Collection", Jerry Butler approached Tammi to join him on his Midwest Tour. While performing at Detroit's 20 Grand nightclub, Berry Gordy caught the show and signed her to Motown.
The 4th song is this but,the acetate version starts in a minute later than the original-
The original version of "Cowboys To Girls" was by the Intruders in 1968.
Crazy Horse was a completely legitimate label Capitol Records set up as a subsidiary in 1968. From the May 25th, 1968 issue of Billboard-
I found a few articles about Boulevard in Cashbox- they seemed to be busy in the late 50's , you would think there would be more info around. Also- here's that Three Stooges album -
Dalya Records wasn't around in the 60's and I believe was formed in 1972 or possibly late '71 so I would agree with the 1972 release date for Shelley Fisher's "Girl I Love You".
According to Bob Pruter's book "Chicago Soul", the name Nolan Chance came up when he was signed to Constellation. Someone decided the name Charles Davis wasn't a great stage name so it was changed. As far as the time line goes, it's Vee Jay then Okeh and finally Constellation.
You are correct- according to Dave Moore's book " .....The Philly Sound..." , the single was done at Cameo- Parkway.
It is strange nothing happened with Jimmy Reed Jr.'s career. Versions of this press release were in Billboard, Cashbox and Record World in March of 1967. After such a big announcement , you would have thought more would have went into the promotion of this artist.

Picking the 1st Soul record will always be debatable. The same thing goes for when the term "Soul" first appeared. I don't think it was the 1st time it was ever used but the examples below are a good starting point. The album was released in early 1961 and here's a part of the liner notes- "Soul in the last few years has become a very successful commercial term, more often than not, it is just a commercial term". So even in 1961, the term seems to have been around for awhile. I'm sure there are earlier examples of the term being used , hopefully someone will add to the thread.
