Detroit rocker Johnny Powers [[also on Motown at one time), was managed by Micky Shorr. Lee Gordon released on his Leedon Label a 2 45s by him "Mama Rock" and "Indeed I Do" under the moniker Johnny "Scat" Brown. Flipside of both were different artist. Aus/NZ Festival distributed Leedon and later fully took over Leedon as Lee Gordon had continual money problems.

Micky Shorr was most likely the source of the Popcorn Wylie tracks, and Lee Gordon was from Detroit
Micky Shorr was a popular DJ on Detroit radio station WXYZ. He knew many of the early Motown staff and artists. He probably knew Gordon as well, and turned Gordon onto the fact that Gordy wasn't going to use Wylie's 2 demos for anything [[knowing that Gordon was trying to promote recordings, and get into the music business. Maybe he did that on behalf of Wylie, so Popcorn could get the cuts released}.
