"The Boy Next Door" was the A side of the single- I remember it getting a lot of airplay on Chicago Soul stations at the time. Always thought the "Kiss My Love Goodbye" demo was a bootleg ????
-
Almost 100% sure that the labels went in this sequence- Solid Red, Red with Columbia background, and then Grey. At this time most Columbia demos were the A side in mono and stereo versions. Don't know why they would have released a single sided demo of the B side.

Artists singing "I'm Gone" (Jack Ashford/Lorraine Chandler)
The Yank replied to a topic in Look At Your Box
"That's What Love Is' was made in 1967, "I'm Gone" in 1968. -
I think Berry Gordy's sales demographic and marketing strategy were obvious- The Motown Sound - The Sound of Young America
-
It wasn't like Berry Gordy didn't try "to promote white acts to their mixed audiences"- they were doing it from the beginning with Nick and The Jaguars, Connie Van Dyke, Debbie Dean, Bobby Breen, Tony Martin, Connie Haines, most of the Mel-O-Dy label when it became Country focused, the Underdogs, The Lewis Sisters, Little Lisa, the Dalton Boys, R. Dean Taylor are just a few. None of these acts achieved much success. It was later with Chris Clark and especially Rare Earth that Motown saw some chart action with their white artists.

My copy has a 1 in the dead wax. I've seen the version with the "3" in the dead wax described as the "handclap mix".. Does your version have the added handclaps? Not sure if that helps but at least you might be able to figure if the "2" version is the same as the "1" or "3" version.

Also co- wrote and produced one of my favorites- "Nothing Can Help You Now"- Lenny Curtis. R.I.P. Mr. Bateman
-
My favorite version of the Constellation label -
-
Wasn't it The Peter Hamilton Generation "Hey Girl" on Jamie /
-
This one looks good especially in its sleeve.
-
I've always liked this version of the Satellite label -
-
Not sure if its the same Eddie O'Jay but, there was an R & B disc jockey with that name who worked in Milwaukee and Cleveland. He later managed the local group the Mascots who later changed their name to the O'Jays in honor of Eddie.

Patti Labelle and the Blue Belles- "Down The Aisle"
-
Al Green- "Let's Get Married"
-
Etta James had a couple- "All I Could Do Was Cry" "Stop The Wedding" The Platters- "With This Ring" Freda Payne- "Band Of Gold"
-
Thanks for the link to the video- really enjoyed the clip.
-
I don't think this was released as a 45 in the U.S., it is on the "You're All I Need" album though.
-
Never saw that one- will have to look into it!
-
Sounds like it was another American International movie. They specialized in low budget movies aimed at teenagers- "The Ghost In The Invisible Bikini", "Muscle Beach Party", "Bleach Blanket Bingo", "Bikini Beach", "It's A Bikini World", "Ski Party" etc. etc. But... on the plus side they usually featured at least one Soul act in their movies (The Supremes, James Brown, The Toys, Stevie Wonder) .
-
I don't think any of these have been mentioned yet- 1) Staple Singers- "Trippin' On Your Love" 2) Carla Thomas- "I'll Never Stop Loving You" 3) Levi and the Vandellas- "Oh, I've Been Blessed" 4) Carolyn Crawford- Until You Came Along" 5) J.J. Barnes- "Ain't It The Truth"
-
There was a thread about this a few years back. Type "What is this, Johnny Sayles" in the search box and you can read the topic.

Great choices so far- here's a few more for the list- 1) Jimmy Ruffin- "He Who Picks A Rose" 2) Spinners- "What More Could A Boy Ask For" 3) Temptations- "That'll Be The Day" 4) Gladys Knight and the Pips- "Here Are The Pieces Of My Broken Heart" 5) Gladys Knight and the Pips- "If You Ever Get Your Hands On Love"
-
Samson and Delilah- "Will You Be Ready" June (Conquest) and Donnie (Hathaway) - "I Thank You Baby" William Bell and Judy Clay- "Private Number" any Marvin and Tammi "Never , Never Let You Go" - Eddie Floyd and Mavis Staples
-
Bob Relf co-wrote (with Earl Nelson) and produced the classic "Try A Little Harder" for the Fi-Dels on Keymen.
-
I think "Where The Action Is" is still a good bet since it was affiliated with Dick Clark Productions. "Shindig" and "Hullabaloo" would be two other good sources. Good luck with the Darrell Banks clip- would love to see it!
