    Italian Tamla- Motown- "Passo Le Mie..." is "A Place In The Sun". The flip side is "Il Sole E' Di Tutti" aka "Music Talk". Both sides are sung in Italian.

    The biggest difference is between the vocal versions- The Kent release is the one you've heard played out all these years. The Kent select release is the longer version with the extra verse that kicks in around 1:14-

    For some unknown reason, Paul Riser arranged the long version but David Van De Pitte arranged the short version ?? Except for the long Spanish version (4:05) which reverts back to Van de Pitte.

    This promo also shows Mr. Van de Pitte as arranger-

    The regular U.S. issue also credits David Van De Pitte as arranger. Not sure what's going on with the U.S. promo -

    That was the last release before Motown picked up the label and started the 5000 series.

    By the time Tammi got to the song, Sylvia did get credit for her contribution-

    I don't know about DFTMC having access to all the files. Not sure what "assigned " means either- it could mean they wanted her to record it but that doesn't mean she went in the studio and actually did. The song was also considered for the Four Tops but they were on tour in Europe. Lamont Dozier remembers the Isleys were begging HDH for songs. I guess it all turned out well in the end .

    According to "The Motown Singles- Vol 6- 1966", the track was recorded September 22, 1965 and assigned to Kim Weston. The Isleys vocals were overdubbed on December 1, 1965.

    Also adapted for "Sweet Soul Music" was the distinctive horn riff in the intro. It is said to have been "inspired" by this commercial

    First pressings of "Sweet Soul Music" only list Conley and Redding as the writers. A lawsuit was filed by J.W. Alexander for Sam's publishing company (Kags) and was settled with Conley and Redding giving Cooke and Kags publishing credit. Also part of the suit was the promise for Otis to record more of Sam's tunes. Strangely enough, the flip side of "Sweet Soul Music" was J.W. Alexander's "Let's Go Steady".

    Sam was first- "Yeah Man" is from 1964.

    Georgie did seem to like his Latin music- his biggest hit (at least in the U.S.) was a cover of this-

    Is that Edna Wright / Sandy Wynns next to Greg ??

    The Sensations/ Yvonne Baker 45 went for 365 pounds.

    I've only seen the Drapels on Volt #113 but.. in The Complete Stax/ Volt Singles 1959-1968 box set, Volt #113 is listed as Bobby Marchan and Volt #114 is listed as the Drapels "Wondering..." with a footnote saying "some copies of this single list it as #113".

    I thought these two articles from Cashbox were interesting-

    No need to apologize about the confusion- the Good Old Gold label was the label I was referring to when I said it was a bootleg label. The Goldies 45 label was a legitimate division of ABC/ Dunhill.
