Detroit Born "Bunny Paul" & "Motown 45" Good? Or Bad? Record

[Graham Jarvis]

Attachment 20519
Detroit born "Bunny Paul" she was a well known singer across Detroit Michigan during the early 5T's. In 1960 she had a brain tumour which left her face partially paralysed. However she recovered sufficiently to record again, and Berry Gordy brought her to Motown to cut a few sides in 1963.

Berry agreed to publish her one 45 on the Gordy label "I'm Hooked" & "We're Only Young Once" 45 Gordy 7017 1963. The "Vandellas" the backing group.

In 2011 the 45 was reviewed by "Motown Junkies" and basically both sides and the record "trashed" with a nominal rating in 2011. However as the review was over 10 years ago, maybe it's time again. I have always rated both sides of the record, sadly the 45 has also somewhat been forgotten.



What do we think of the Bunny Paul tracks?
