    Early single by Betty -

    Edna Wright is Darlene Love's younger sister. She was also the lead singer of the Honey Cone. I'm not sure what Northern song you're talking about.
  3. The Yank
    I don't have an opinion one way or the other- there is no wrong or right answer !
  4. The Yank
    Fair enough. What about these 2- is Sandy Wynns considered Northern and Patrice "out and out Motown" ?
  5. The Yank
    Indeed I do !
  6. The Yank
    Okay but what would you do with "This Old Heart Of Mine", "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "I Can't Help Myself", "Stoned Love" , "Heaven Must Have Sent You" etc. ?

    I think there is quite a blurry line between the Northern Soul and Motown and probably will depend on each member's criteria. Here's one 45 with a Motown song on one side and a Northern Soul song on the other -

    Jackey Beavers for me .

    Great song with a rare lead vocal from Lawrence Payton. It was released seven years later as a U.K. B side -

    Sherlie says that is her on you tube but has commented in the past she can't remember a lot of specific work she did.
  11. The Yank
    There are two sides to every story- if you read online comments from Sherlie Matthews (Shirley Matthews was a Canadian based R & B Singer) , she says she recorded the song in the late 60's. On the other hand, if you read the liner notes to the Kent CD "The Mirwood Soul Story", the single was "released" around the time a certain SS had access to the Mirwood master tapes- they commented it appears to be a new recording .

    Here's another variation -

    There is a long (33 minute video) on you tube from 2011- "A Day In The Life of King George" that may give you some answers.
  14. The Yank
    Same group, different name. I believe Johnny Bragg was in both
  15. The Yank
    Original version before Johnny Ray

    The regular issue copy must be very rare- out of the 15 copies on popsike, all of them are promo's. But, Manship's price guide (6th edition) does give separate prices for issues and promos so he has to know both exist.

    Thanks for the info !

    Does "110th and Lenox Avenue" contain a vocal by the Isleys or is this an instrumental track? It isn't listed in Joel Selvin's "Here Comes The Night" which has a very extensive Bert Berns discography. Also, the only other time I've seen The I.B. Special listed as an artist was on "Spanish Twist" which was an instrumental version of "Twist and Shout" -

    Here's 2 copies to compare- the 1st is an original, the 2nd the boot with iffy text -

    This talent directory from late 1964 (Billboard 12/26/64 - page 110) shows Tommy as a Golden World (????) artist. Does anyone have any more info on this ?

    One more from the Windy City -

    From Billboard Feb. 4th,1967 -

    Here's a Shorty Long "Function..." on both sides as an issue on red vinyl -
