    I've only seen this version. Do you have a pic of the Mesley variation ?

    Lee Young was the owner of Melic Records. He later went to work for Vee Jay which distributed the Melic Label. The John Wesley on Vivid would make more sense on Vee Jay but for some unknown reason ended up on Vivid.

    Sorry to hear about this - here's another classic from the Ronettes-

    Cashbox (June 29,1968 issue) also saw the potential in "They'll Never Know Why" and rated it as a "Best Bet"-
  5. The Yank
    Can't see this being spun a lot on a Northern Dance floor- I guess it's possible though-
  6. The Yank
    The only other mention I could find was in Cashbox (Sept.16, "67). "Smile" was listed as a "Best Bet" and "A MIghty Good Way" received a B+ rating.

    Here you go -

    Sure- Dave Moore's "The Philly Sound" .

    I believe Brother's Guiding Light is the Dreamlovers with a new name. So - group members should be Don Hogan, Tommy Ricks, Cleveland Hammock and Cliff and James Dunn.

    "They'll Never Know Why" did make it to "Local Spotlight" status on one of Albequerque's stations-
  11. The Yank
    I think that's a very good possibility- David Nunez wrote one side of the Dave Newman 45 and was also lead singer on this single by The Chekkers-
  12. The Yank
    Yes- the Jazz saxophonist stuck to instrumentals .

    Besides KGFJ, I could only find it getting play on this radio station where it just made the Top 30 -

    I don't remember seeing Dee Dee Barnes stock copies or hearing it on the radio. In fact, I don't remember ever seeing promos or stocks of this around the Chicago area.

    One more for the list- this is not the same song as the Little Milton tune already posted-
  16. The Yank
    There is a Marv Johnson version that exists on acetate and the Temptations did a version on their "Temptations Sing Smokey" album.
  17. The Yank
    A few more for the list- O'Kaysions- "Deal Me In" Tico and the Triumphs- "Cards Of Love" Alicia Meyers- "If You Play Your Cards Right" Persuaders- "Gamblin' On A Sure Shot"

    Little Milton covering both sides of a card game -

    "My Baby.." was on an album that was released in 1959 so it's okay for this thread. I've heard "Drip Drop" by the Drifters and Big Maybelle's "I Got A Feeling" got a few spins.

    I meant the same thing- I should have said a white label promo with the curved Calla logo ! The 70's promos have the straight across Calla logo.
  23. The Yank
    I know discogs has the promo as legitimate but, I have my doubts. I've seen the white and blue label promos and the regular white and red label promos but not a white label. I can't remember seeing any other white label Calla promos either. Anyone else ??

    The Silhouettes did top the Pop and R & B charts 10 years earlier- I can't see the company pressing 200,000 albums on a group that were hitless for that long. Besides an album review in Billboard and "Not Me Baby" getting some airplay on a station in Trenton, New Jersey, it appears that the SiIhouettes comeback never happened. Finally, if an album would have sold 200,000 copies it would have showed up on the Top Pop/Rock charts or the Soul Album charts. The Silhouettes album never charted.
  25. The Yank
    This is not the Bridges/ Knight/ Easton group. There was a thread on SS from 2019 "Johnny & the Brothers of Soul ... Who Are they" . I don't think the identity of this group was ever solved.
