The Yank

Another coincidence -

It appears Lawrence Murphy was Darrell's personal manger according to Billboard's Talent Edition from 12/28/68 -

The U.S. album does get it correct -

The Italian 45 by Betty Wright really gets it wrong- looks like the credits came from a Stax 45 -

Gladys Knight is still in fine form. Yesterday at the Superbowl - Just noticed NFL blocked the video Sorry !

A few more for the thread - Supremes- "Automatically Sunshine", "Here Comes The Sunrise", "He's My Sunny Boy" Stevie Wonder- "A Place In The Sun" Ray Charles- "You Are My Sunshine" Robert John- "Raindrops, Love And Sunshine" WAR- "L.A. Sunshine" Jakki- "Sun, Sun, Sun" Central Line- "Walking Into Sunshine" Rocker's Revenge- "Walking On Sunshine"

Second version from the group -

Is this the Joy Lovejoy mentioned in the 1st post? Does anyone like this version ??

"LWIAM" was a Best Bet in Cashbox the week of 11/12/66- as was Rose Battiste's "I Miss My Baby"

I was just making sure ! Dusty's "Brand New Me" album was recorded in Philadelphia.

Yes-

I can't really help on this one. There are 5 copies on popsike all of them have destroyed labels.

The delta number for the Little Johnny Hamilton is from Nov./ Dec. 1965. Not sure about the rest of the releases.

One more for the list- Mary Jane#6703- "Out Uh Sight"/ "Turn Back" -

I don't think Pat ever made the national charts, she did have a big hit in Chicago going Top 5 during Christmas week of 1966

Billboard ad from October, 1966 for Pat's single. The Holidays' 45 ended up being "Love's Creeping Up On Me"/ " Never Alone" -

Yes- but how big was the demand? Every radio station in the U.S. didn't start playing records at the same time. "Look.." was a hit in Chicago in December, 1966. Who's to say a few months later a station in Philadelphia or San Francisco didn't start playing "Look...", and a distributor asked for copies to be pressed up? A good example of this is Tommy Neal's "Going To A Happening". The Palmer copy was reviewed in Record World in August ,1967. I've heard the record was a big hit in Pittsburgh and so copies were pressed. The record took off in December, 1967 on the West Coast and the Vault copy came out 4 months later.
