Of course, H.O.B. was [[early on) a label for Detroit gospel tracks and as is well known, the word SOUL had long & strong gospel / church connections ... FOR INSTANCE the Soul Stirrers utilising their group name from as early as the start of the 1930's [[they recorded under the name from around 1946).
How come H.O.B's Soul label became defunct around 1963 but then BG started the Motown related Soul label in March 64.
Did BG 'buy' the name off Murphy ?
