    If that's true, how did the person who said it doesn't even sound like Ramsey Lewis get credit for providing the solution ?????????
  2. The Yank
    I'm confused- if it wasn't the Chocolate Boys "Voltaire Pier" what song was it ??
  3. The Yank
    This was a Belgian/ French group -

    Also, by the time Brenda completed "Lonely Boy" (according to the DFTMS , it was December 28, 1964), there was no Jobete Music New York in existence. I don't have an exact date, but I believe the offices were closed shortly after the "My Guy" bootleg situation was discovered. And, as you can see Raynoma was busy getting Shrine off the ground in early December 1964-

    Here's Shrine F -

    The final price on Betty Wilson- 3315 pounds.

    Here's another one for the list - Vandelettes on Mellow-Town #1009 -
  8. The Yank
    The writers credits make it look like a different song -
  9. The Yank
    Mellow Town #1006 is "Keep It Up" / "Love" by the Strings.

    Early copies of the 45 have different publishers- Motown probably noticed the similarities between the two and asked for publishing credits.
  11. The Yank
    I'm about 99% sure the Ivanhoe Walter Scott is a different artist- I think this is the same person who recorded as Fortson and Scott for the Pzazz label.

    It is definitely NOT as U.S. import- there is no such thing as the Tamla-Motown label in America. According to Terry Wilson's "Tamla Motown.....U.K. singles" book - the label shown appears to have been used from December, 1972 to October, 1973. I agree it is strange there is no " Made in Gt. Britain" on the label . Here's is the photo used on discogs for the 1973 pressing-

    According to discogs, the "Greatest Hits" album was 1st issued in the U.K. in 1972, the label you show goes to the 1973 U.K. reissue of the album. Here's what the original label looked like -

    "The Light Of Day" got some airplay on Flint's WTRX - kind of hard to see but, it's at # 29-
  15. The Yank
    There is no Josie #480- the label's singles start at # 760.
  16. The Yank
    I'm not sure why they don't come up for you- both showed up on U.S. e-bay for me. Here's the item #'s - 174643117445 and 254868223618 .
  17. The Yank
    I saw 2 copies on e-bay - prices range from $4 to $20.

    The information I posted about the DC Epsilons was from discogs. I'm not sure where that info was sourced from.
  19. The Yank
    According to Dave Moore's essential book "The Philly Sound" , the Philly Epsilons provided back up vocals for Arthur Conley's "Sweet Soul Music".
  20. The Yank
    Yes- there were 2 Epsilons. The D.C. group who recorded for Shrine/ Hem were made up of James Duval, Ronald Williams, Greg Thomas and Stan Williams. Otis Redding saw the Philly group and brought them to the attention of Stax. This group's members were McFadden and Whitehead, Ron Lowry and Allen Beatty. Later with the addition of future Blue Note Lloyd Parks, and James Knight, the group became known as Talk Of The Town. Patti Labelle's first group was the Epsilons. She later left and formed the Bluebelles.

    Cashbox reviewed the 45 in their January 15, 1966 issue-
  22. The Yank
    Fred Hughes was born in Arkansas and later moved to California. He and his band were seen by Richard Parker who was by that time Vee Jay's West Coast A & R director and signed to the label. This is from Bob Pruter's "Chicago Soul" book.

    Here's an unreleased song from Harry that uses the same backing track as Tony Hester's "Just Can't Leave You" -
  25. The Yank
    It's from the April 28.1956 issue of Cashbox. I'm not sure which one is Cody.
