PHILLY; MID 60's ... Norman Johnson & Ugene Dozier were penning some songs together until Gene decided to try his luck in Detroit & then in LA. So their job wasn't finished on one song they had developed together. Norman liked it & so continued work on the song & it became "It Will Be Done" which Eddie Carlton cut. Meanwhile Gene hadn't had too much success @ Motown, so he headed out to LA to try his luck there. Gene had also stuck with the song & come up with a 'finished' version too. He cut a demo version of it himself. He then worked with Lorenzo Manley on another song. Original Sound wanted to release the track Lorenzo had laid down but they had no 2nd recording. So Gene gave them his demo of "Swoop Down On You" and that became the B side of Lorenzo's 45
Norman's effort hit the shops in 65, slightly ahead of Gene's version. ...
