Is much known about this 70's Detroit record label ?
They cut 2 acts, Sunrise Movement & Ghetto Friendship.
They recorded their tracks at a studio based out of 10431 W Chicago in Detroit [[this building still stands & was the Chicago Dollar Store recently.
A guy who worked for the label was their Promotions Director Jim Hall [[a posh title for a guy who probably was not able to do much coz of cash shortage).
They were due to cut a 3rd group by all accounts [[Detroit Monuments) but went under.
It seems the folks at the label were ... christian names only ... Larry , Emma , Dunkey, Dean ... and ... Elridge [[Rutledge)
The guy who fronted Sunrise Movement, Lenny Mayes, went on to join the Dramatics in Oct 73, so he at least would know something about that group.
