    Jr. Walker 1967 unissued track - artist ??

    The Unissued Motown set from 1967 has a track called "Nothing for Nothing", credited to Jr. Walker & the All Stars...details from DFTMC

    3.12 Nothing For Nothing - Jr. Walker & the All Stars
    [[Henry Cosby-Sylvia Moy-Stevie Wonder-Cornelius Grant)
    Produced by Henry Cosby
    Track recorded June 21, 1967, instrumentation added June 26, strings added July 7, 1967

    It sounds like an early working of :

    I'm More Than Happy [[I'm Satisfied) [[Henry Cosby-Sylvia Moy-Stevie Wonder-Cornelius Grant) published Jobete 01-Nov-67

    alt title: Nothing For Nothing

    Stevie Wonder; recorded Hitsville-GW, completed 19-Dec-67 ; produced by Henry Cosby ; arranged by Henry Cosby, Paul Riser ; [v1]


    The vocal on this track doesn't sound like Jr. Walker to me.
    Any thoughts on this?

    Good one snakepit!
    I recently burnt another Jr. Walker Unreleased CD and omitted this track because it didn`t sound like Jr. No saxophone from Jr. either. Could it be Hank Cosby as a demo?

    That's definitely the backing track to IMTH[IS]. I'm just glad that it received further attention.

    The vocalist sounds familiar-ish but I'm not really sure who it is. If Hank Cosby is the singer accompanying Stevie on "Blowing In The Wind" then it isn't him on this track.

    You are welcome. I haven't anything to add; agree that it is definitely not Jr. Walker.
