The Yank

Another "Lost And Found" track - k -

According to Carl Davis' book , "The Man Behind The Music", Carl worked well with Dave Kapralik .Columbia placed OKeh under the supervision of Len Levy and the two of them just couldn't work together.

I would pick "I Want A Love I Can See" or "Forever in My Heart".

The dream team actually got its start a bit earlier (August or July?) with the release of "Whispers" -

One of Sonny's earliest releases on Brunswick was this LaVern Baker 45- If you look at the credits, there are names that are more closely associated with Golden World than Chicago-

Teddy joined Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes as a drummer sometime the late 60's (?) or early 70's. He took over lead vocals on "I Miss You" and did just about all the leads on their biggest hits on Philly Int'l.

You can go back even further to "There Goes My Baby" from 1959. Rudy Lewis was the lead singer on "Some Kind..."

"Agent..." also took off big in Cleveland hitting their Top 20 even earlier -

Billy Larkin and the Delegates also covered the song which appeared on his "Hole In The Wall" album and as a Little LP-

From Record World (July 27,1968) -

Joe Matthews came out in late 1965/ early '66 , the Tempos is from 1968 or 1969.

I'm guessing that "Paris Blues" was originally recorded for Polydor International. The Polydor ad (Cashbox - July 2, 1966) states that Claus recorded his 1st singles for Polydor in the U.S. In the 2nd article, (Cashbox June 11, 1966) it appears that Helios Music ( which published "Paris Blues) was looking to lease their masters to "a host of key labels". So once again, I'm guessing Polydor had international rights to Claus Ogerman productions and they were free to lease them to any company in the U.S.

Brazilian EP -

"Rich Girl" also came out on Green Sea with a different flip side-

According to "Tamla- Motown -The stories behind the U.K. singles", The small pictured sleeves were used in December,1967 until I guess February, 1968 when the olive /brown ones were made.

According to Discogs, Damon Recording Studio was owned by Victor Damon and was based in Kansas City, Missouri -

The only Motown track I can think of with that title is this -

Ralph and his brother Russ were members of the Sunliners who with a few personnel changes morphed into Rare Earth.

I got the same final bid for the Belles.

I don't know of any other groups Sherman was in or is his stage name. He is said to be the younger brother of Robert Nesberry of the Orchids (Parrot). Here's another song he wrote-

Subway Riders "After The Session" , Laura Greene "Moonlight Music In You" , Frankie and The Classicals "What Shall I Do"
