    I don't think it's a problem with Chicago for the most part. One of the biggest airports in the U.S. (O'Hare) probably doesn't have many international flights leaving and the mail is just sitting there.

    The black label Philips came before the blue label but, the 1st release was on the Mod label -

    Classic video from Expo '67 in Canada-

    Sad to hear about this! From Soul Train-

    This one has to be included -

    Very sorry to hear about this- Barney did play an important role in getting Motown established -

    Are you sure Lionel Hampton wrote that song? I could see it being Riley Hampton who was working with Ollie McLaughlin in the mid 60's.

    Really sorry to hear this- met him a few years back and he was an incredibly nice guy. Great 2 sided 45 !!

    I would go with B. There's a few artists who tend to "fluff" their resume. I know of a female singer who remade a song from 1964 in 1966 and claims she wrote the song and owns the copyrights to the song on you tube. I'm not going to mention names to spare her from further embarrassment.

    Both Record World and Cashbox reviewed "Jan Jan" by the Fabulous Counts (Moira #103) in their December 21st, 1968 issues. It doesn't make much sense for Belita Woods (Moira #106) to have been released 2 years earlier.

    Can't find any reference of "Magic Corner" before 1969. The single did well on WJLB in Detroit -
  14. The Yank
    The album "Detroit Gold" lists Pete Varner only as the writer of "Magic Corner".

    Here's two more that can be removed from the list - The Olympics and Ralfi Pagan. The titles may be the same but the songs are completely different.

    Jack Montgomery did go a little higher on the WVON chart a few weeks later but did much better on another Chicago station (WBEE) going up to #17. Kellmac #1010 and #1012 must have been pressed in very small quantities.

    Very Funky track from Laura -
  18. The Yank
    "I'm Looking Out For Me" did pick up some local airplay on WVON (#31) and also in Memphis, Baltimore and Houston -
  19. The Yank
    Fine original version of the tune remade by the Dells -
  20. The Yank
    There's another variation on Despenza with the release # as 470 versus 12266 -
  21. The Yank
    From Grover Washington's "Winelight" album -

    While this is definitely "Ain't No Big Thing", the lyrics are different. In the Radiants version, the lead singer has a feeling he's losing his girl, in this version, the lead has already found someone new -
  23. The Yank
    Here's another one for the list -
  24. The Yank
    I don't think this one has been mentioned yet -

    Just to clear up a few minor details- 1) Charles Johnson did not produce "Starting All Over Again" for Mel and Tim. 2) "Backfield In Motion" was released 3 years before "Starting All Over Again"
