    Cashbox describes the song as "a soulful ballad".
  2. The Yank
    I did some snooping on you tube and someone says Don Oriolo told them the group was from Newark, New Jersey. Another person says this singer was part of the group-
  3. The Yank
    This is the only info I could find on the group besides details about their 45 - (from Cashbox - July, 1972)
  4. The Yank
    Billboard ad from April '62-
  5. The Yank
    I'm glad you cleared that up- the rest of the records that were mentioned did have some kind of Detroit connection- that one made no sense which is why I posted it. I knew someone would have the answer.

    In Mark Ribowsky's book "The Supremes- A Saga Of .....", the author says the Primettes did backup work on the following songs- Eddie Floyd- "I'm Her Yo Yo Man", Wilson Pickett's "Let Me Be Your Boy", Gene Martin's "Lonely Nights", James Velvet's "Boquet Of Flowers", Al Garner's "All I Need Is You", James Dee's "My Pride", Don Revels "Return Of Stagger Lee" and "several songs by Gino Washington".

    Here's a couple of surveys with Bobby at #29 and # 19-
  8. The Yank
    A couple of sleeves for 45 acetates-
  9. The Yank
    The web site that posted the listing has now removed it, so it's now a mystery to me also.
  10. The Yank
    Nice looking sleeve from a company I've never heard of -
  11. The Yank
    I think you're right- I got confused with the Discogs info. "The Complete Stax/ Volt Singles 1959-'68" has the release date as August 19th.
  12. The Yank
    The 1st release had "What Will Tomorrow Bring" as the B side.
  13. The Yank
    This article is from the August 23, 1969 issue of Record World. So it looks like the Mala 45 came out first and the ATAC version was second.
  14. The Yank
    Here's a blue sleeve with the same albums as the black sleeve and the various production dates. If you find a blue sleeve with earlier albums, please post.
  15. The Yank
    I remember seeing the Hitsville covers on releases in 1966.The Lp festooned covers were not used until 1967- if you look at the albums they're current releases. Also the date they started being used (or were manufactured) is right on the cover .
  16. The Yank
    I found this on a web site as an upcoming release. Besides giving the company releasing it (Tuff City) and a release date (June 4th) there is no other info. Does anyone know anything else about it?
  17. The Yank
    A few sleeves that were used for promo records (the last one is for Atlantic/ Atco) -
  18. The Yank
    2 Atlantic sleeves- the 1st an early one before they signed the Drifters, La Vern Baker and Ray Charles and a later one-
  19. The Yank
  20. The Yank
    Japanese Atlantic sleeve from the late 50's. Everything is going fine until they get to Mr. McPhatter -
  21. The Yank
    A few more for the list-
  22. The Yank
    I'd go with these two-
  23. The Yank
    Billboard is referring to Marge and Gower Champion the dance duo who were in quite a few 50's Hollywood musicals. There's some videos on you tube where you can see them in action
  24. The Yank
    I never heard it until a few minutes before I posted it- it's different ! Somehow, Wally managed to make Billboard's "Winners Destined For Headlines in 1954" list! This probably had more to do with "Mr. Peepers" than his 45 -
  25. The Yank
    It appears that "Can It Be Me" on Modern came out after this Holiday Inn release. This survey is from June, 1966 with Mel at #30 -
