I enjoyed hearing those tracks soulballad. Thank you

Andre Williams was still touring a few years ago as far away as the south of France. I left Montpellier to return to London a week before he was due to appear. I would have loved to have seen him.

Wasn't ANDRE WILLIAMS also the "Williams" who wrote and produced "Twine Time" for ALVIN CASH ....

According to Wiki, he did write for Alvin Cash. After listening to this it sounds like something he would have had a part in. Mr. Williams had a real raunchy bluesy side This was grown people's music! Hahaha

Andre Williams could set up a groove like nobody. Alvin Cash, the Five DuTones, and so many others. Mack Rice told me that when he wrote Mustang Sally, it was to a Hi Heel Sneaker groove. Andre produced the record and HE set it up as it appeared.

Bettye said some of the Detroit folks would have him come to a session just to count it off.

Nope!!

But I can go one better .. I have a vinyl copy of the Mar-V-Lus L.P.and ANDRE WILLIAMS has his name all over it, plus a write-up about how the "Twine" dance came about, seems ANDRE WILLIAMS was the A&R man at Mar-V-Lus at the time ....

I'd go for the Bail out for fun LP as the best of the 3 LP's released.

[imnokid]

I love the Maxayne LPs, but that is Andre Lewis, not Andre Williams.

[tamla617]

Yeah..... no idea how I miss read the name!!
