As far as I know, Clarence Paul [[Pauling) was never a member of The Five Royales, whose brother, Lowman Pauling, was their main lead singer. Clarence, several years younger, was, however, a...

As an R&B fan in 1958, when Motown's early producers and writers, and singers were producing their "pre-Motown" recordings, I would try out most R&B labels' issues, and get a chance to listen...

I expected this to be "Staunton & Walker sing The Beach Boys". But, instead, this is more like "Staunton & Walker sing Frankie Avalon"!!! :cool:. The Staunton-Walker-Dobyne "Hit Pack" could...

[[1) Joe Hunter had a large, contracted, production agreement with Duke/Peacock/Backbeat/Sure Shot's Don Robey in 1965, in which he produced and recorded some of Robey's Texas-based artists in...

Papillons!!! Butterfly dogs??? Were they named that because they have gigantic ears that flop downward all the way to the ground??? :D Our poodle [[in the '50s and 60s), used to bark back...

I have a golden retriever part time [[about 15-18 weeks per year). He's my sister's dog. I get him when my sister and brother-in-law travel. His name is Theo. Golden retrievers are my...

That must have been a much later purchase by Jobete. I bought that record when it was first out, and no way was it first published by them. my record shows it was a new York production...
I bought my first Don Downing record, on VJ subsidiary, Abner Records in 1958.

Ralph or Russ might have an educated guess. Maybe The Headliners? Maybe it was a Rare Earth group? The Messengers? Maybe we could look. the song up in The Jobete Music Catalogue, and find...

These Velveletts were a St. Louis group, who had nothing to do with the Detroit-bred Motown group or Motown Records. What is interesting, and probably helped with the confusion in connecting...

Buried deep on the bottom of a classic thread from 2001!!! :D

Your children would need to have appreciated your love of Motown music as a big thing in your life [[and probably appreciate the music too - because you introduced it to them) - to give it...

My uncle [[the family comedian) was buried with his favourite record [ 1936 Okeh 78 of "The Laughing Cowboy" - with mostly laughing [[rather than yodelling)), amongst other curios. Could I...

ĄClaro que Los Versatones no pudieron deletrear la palabra, "baila"! :D
Clearly that song originated in Spanish Haarlem!
I like "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" much, much, much better. Too bad...

Thanks Paul. I must have just thought Smokey wrote the songs, and produced them, because the writing sounded so much like his style, and the acetates I found were Jobete Music "proof of...

I thought those 3 Versatones' Motown cuts were written and produced by Smokey. I seem to remember his name on their 7-inch acetates. The music writing and lyrics sound like pure Smokey to...
Thanks nsoule for letting us hear these interesting old songs. I like both better than most of the Billy Gordon led recordings by them. "Bewildered" is a halfway decent group harmony song. I think...
Yes, 'The Wrecking Crew's members recorded on many of Motown's L.A. recordings before the move west in 1972-74. But, I'd be surprised to learn that they ALL performed together, live, backing up...
The Soul Records Hit Pack 45 35011, has "Distributed by Bell Records" written along the bottom of the label, in error. I remember also 35010 had the same misprint.
The West Coast issue of the Shop Around 45 has "Gordt" in the writer's credits instead of GordY.

Does anyone here know if THIS record was the inspiration Simon Soussan had for naming his Soul re-issue label "Soul Galore"?

This is a song I always wondered about. It just doesn't sound like a song Ronnie [[Eugene) would sing [[or write, for that matter). It's much more like a song his brother, Al would write. ...
Graham,
I'm not with my lists of wants by me and other collectors from the 1960s & 1970s [[wrong continent). So, I can't check my old lists. So I made the comment above from memory of 55 or more...

I've read, and been told that Hardye Producing Co. was owned by Harvey Fuqua and Gwen Gordy [[and a few people also mentioned that Anna Gordy was also a partner-but I I'm not sure about that)....
