Leonard Wayne Bunn was also in the Tantones on Lamp in 1957. His daughter has been in touch, he's still alive, in his 80s
Terrific info Robb, I agree about 100s and could add a lot. The Randy Wood who owned Mirwood was black, the one who owned Dot was white. Also I saw on another site that you reckoned Spry was owned by...
This group is referred to in a Fantasy press release as being recorded at Motown but never released, first half of the 70s, I'd guess. Anyone heard of them before?
The Peppers are on a Bobby Lewis Spotlight 45. A Dave Hamilton group backed the Carols on Savoy around 53/54
Thanks Robb,
Beatle Walk is actually Cooter Bug and The Argentina is Donna's Cha Cha, the Fortune is essentially a re-release of the Hi-Q.
Hi John,
I didn't know there was another version, presumably an unmarked acetate if its unknown? I'd love to hear it.
The song is definitely Dave's, we have the song registration from 8th July...
I'm researching Dave's life and music and would appreciate anyone with knowledge of him to fill me in on parts of his life I may not know about. Particularly his early career, so far I have;
Gotta...
I'm researching Dave's life and wondered if anyone had any extra Motown information.
So far I know he was an original Funk brother but left about 64 purportedly because he was a union man.
He...
As a post script, I just worked out that his updating of 'The Wind' on the Dave Hamilton CD uses the backing track of Louis Curry 'A Toast To You'
The contract actually has Louis Curry as the real name and Lonnie Curry as the stage name.
Harry Gates pops up all over the place. His original/alternate of Tony Hester's 'Just Can't Leave You'...
Does anyone have his Big Hit 45 from 1976, I'd love to see a scan of both sides. he recorded as Presberry for Dave Hamilton but unreleased.
I located one in the UK thanks. There's a terrific article on Bobbie Smith and the Dream Girls on the net under the Twirl Story or similar
Would anyone have this single? We need it for a project but the licensor doesn't have a source. ady.croasdell@btinternet.com if you can help, credit and rewards await.
PS Metro was an MGM...
Mike is a massive player in the sort of 60s soul music we go for in the UK and Europe. He accomplished so much in his career; enough to make your head spin.
Yep that's a boot, Ace own the Alice Clark tracks available on the GWP Kent Cds and the Alice Clark solo CD as well as download.
I now have a rough discography of this and a couple of other Dave owned labels. If anyone thinks they may have extra info I can send it to them or if they are just curious....
What's it a reissue of John?
Did it come out John? If so what label, cat no etc please.

I just checked his songs on MCPS/PRS and all the released ones are being claimed by a UK based publishing company so he should be getting regular 6 monthly statements and cheques if the advance has...
Yes it was already in the pipeline.

I'm guessing from the way she told the story Mary was there with them. Also check out he Born To Live With Heartache
If you're not particularly into the neo Motown sound of some Northern Soul try the beautiful Ashford Simpson ballad Baby I'll Come, the crossover inspirational soul of Sandbox or the inspirational...
Good ole Sherl, not a bad song though not my usual choice of visuals. The funny thing is she and Delores Hall once walked me back to my hotel when they found out it was in the Boys Town area of LA.
The vocal is on the first volume that is out, inst will be on Vol 2 prob in January.
More Motown in the pipeline but they're usualy a bit sensitive until progressed further so I'll not reveal just...
