    I saw 14,543p with 11 seconds to go and then it crashed on me.

    Here's a few more for the list- "Baby Reconsider" by Leon Haywood borrows a lot from "Just A Little Misunderstanding" by the Contours. "One In A Million" by Maxine Brown sounds like a slowed down "Uptight" by Stevie Wonder. "Choppin' Around" by Jimmy Wisner is almost the same song as "Hungry For Love" by the San Remo Strings. The next two aren't really Northern ... "Are You Lonely For Me Baby" by Freddie Scott was obviously influenced by "Searchin' For My Love" by Bobby Moore. "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Foundations is extremely close to "I'll Turn To Stone" by the Four Tops.

    A demo copy of this just turned up on Manship's web site. It has all the information you might need on how to tell the difference between the original copy and the bootleg.

    Thanks for putting this on Soul Source! Love the story and being able to see all the memorabilia from the early days at Motown!

    Great article- glad to see the group getting some recognition !

    I've never seen one of those in the U.S.- I would almost swear that's a boot !

    The Swingin' Tigers was really Bean Bowles and his band so the first white artist would be Debbie Dean with "Don't Let Him Shop Around " on Motown #1007.
  10. The Yank
    Nick and the Jaguars were before Debbie Dean but I'm not sure who was in the group. Does anyone know anything about the Swingin' Tigers ?

    One was just recently listed on Manship's web site. Wonder what that one will go for...

    If you look at one of the footnotes at the end of the article, it's says Jerry Ross used Nick Ashford, Valerie Simpson and Melba Moore as a backup group - that's probably who you're hearing .

    I didn't think you were looking for the C + C Music Factory but thought it was worth a try. Thanks for posting the clip- great song!

    It did come out in the U.S. but not as a single- it was available on the "Ruff And Ready" album.
  15. The Yank
    If the line was "gonna make you sweat", it might be "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C & C Music Factory ?

    By the time the Mynah Birds signed to V.I.P. , the group consisted of Rick James, Neil Young, John Taylor, Bruce Palmer and Rick Mason.

    I was listening to the radio awhile ago and heard an advertisement for Marshall Thompson's book "Last Man Standing" - this was the first I heard of it. Just wondered if anyone has had a chance to read it and what they thought of the book.

    The liner notes have the session taking place in October,1964 which sounds about right. Billy Davis is listed as the producer.
  19. The Yank
    There are no writer credits given on the CD, maybe Ady will enlighten us? I'm in the "I Like It Just The Way It Is" club.

    According to the liner notes on the "Who's Blue" CD, "Can't Shake It" was recorded at the same session as "Mellow Fellow" and "Bobby Is His Name".

    I can hear the "Sweatin" " mp3 but none of the other audio works for me.
  22. The Yank
    It did come out as a 7" single in the U.S. on Motown #1459. One side is the album version, the other side the new version.
  23. The Yank
    Is this already out in the U.K. ? Release date for the CD in the U.S. is October 21st.
  24. The Yank
