    In 1955, he added a co-host to his radio program- Margie the wife of Tony WIlliams of the Platters. He also had a tv show on KCBS- "Rhythm and Bluesville". In this year he started working nights at KGFJ where he worked until 1968. So - he may have been white but he did had ties to the black community for over 20 years.

    Just wanted to add a few things about Hunter Hancock. The Swingin' label was owned by Mr. Hancock and his business partner Roger Davenport. I don't think Hunter had to adapt to the African- American community since he had been playing R & B on KVFD (later KPOP) since the late 1940's. He joined the station in 1944 and is considered to be one of the 1st deejays to play R & B in the western parts of the U.S. . He started broadcasting Jazz in 1944 and switched to R & B in 1947. in 1949, Jay McNeely recorded this for Hunter-

    "The Poet" album actually came out in 1981(October?/November?) so it's possible but doubtful that it was played at Wigan.

    I have no idea how e-bay U.K. is set up but in the U.S., once I select R & B / Soul 45's and 7 inch - I can another use another filter with the following options in Item Location- within ____ miles, U.S. only, North America and Worldwide.
  15. The Yank
    Lots of similarities between these two-
  16. The Yank
    Not a lot of the same lyrics but enough to make you think of you know what .....

    I would just order one from Ace / Kent's website -

    I noticed the same thing a few weeks ago- suddenly most of the R& B/ Soul 45's were from the U.K. If you scroll further down on the page, you can pick another filter "U.S. only" if you don't want to look at all the U.K. listings.

    I think you're looking at Carole through the wrong lens. She was on tv today and was commenting on this clip. In her interview, she mentioned Aretha rarely if ever played the piano in her later years, when Carole saw this she was astounded and went into complete fan girl mode!

    RIP Aretha

    The Yank commented on Philb's article in News Archives

    Rest in Peace Aretha. Much R-E-S-P-E-C-T to you !!!

    Here's the review from the June 27th, 1970 issue of Cashbox. I believe the 6-70 at the bottom of the label referred to the release date.
