Does anyone have a link to anybody from this Detroit family?
Aurthur Clement "OC" Tolbert [[aka King Diamond on Power House records) recorded for Dave Hamilton in the late 60s, early 70s and the whole darn family recorded a 45 for him in
The family moved to Detroit from Selma, Alabama. There were ten children one side of the 45 is featuring "Brother Mother Tolbert"! There was a Velma Tolbert who may have been the mother or a sister.
One of his sessions featured Billy Smith on bass, Larry Talbert drums, Wallace Childs tambourine, Big Bob tenor sax and Don Downes on trumpet. If anyone knows any of them, maybe they have a lead.
We have now accumulated enough tracks for a very good CD and would like to learn as much about him and his family as we can, so that we can feature it in the CD liner notes.
Thanks
Ady
