Does anyone know for sure if David Lenyard IS actually Buford?

Kevin, here's your answer. It is cut and pasted from an email just received today from Bill Randle who runs Sounds Of Soul radio show.
Very sad to report the news of my friend of over 30 years, Buford "Fab" Glanton's passing, he made his transition on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015. Though not a household name Fab was a real soul journeyman, he'd started his career in the late 1950s as a member of The Martiniques before joining The Tempos, also toured extensively as guitar player with H-D-H's group The Politicians throughout the 1970s as well as being a resident house band leader at several of Detroit's premier clubs and constant session work allover the city.

Recruited by his long time friends Stan Bracely, Will Harvey and Robert Walker he joined The Lovetones as lead singer and was later responsible for one of Motorcity Records finest moments with the song "Fire Alarm", he also co wrote many tracks at Ian Levine's said label. I do have an interview, that was done some twenty-five+ years ago, and perhaps with Mickey's help I'll try to make it available [[incidentally Mickey Nold was the editor of a whole bunch of interviews I did back then for his PCRL Basement Soul Show, only as the years have progressed have I realized the importance of what we did back then. Just to confuse you I 'll be playing two tracks Fab recorded under the name of David Lenyard & The Music Tree. The video this week is one Mickey filmed in 1992 at Torbay weekender put together by Mick,Tony & Pep.
