"...At One-derful, George Leaner created an effective A&R and production team in Andre Williams, a Motown songwriter he met while working at United, and a young Monk Higgins, who would become a fundamental figure in Chicago soul music...


"...We would go down there after school, or weekends, during the summer, and we would record," said Larry Blasingaine, whose teenage band, Larry and the Hippies, was the backing band for many of the later One-derful sessions..."


"...It's so long ago it's almost like I don't even remember," said Beverly Longmire, who recorded briefly for One-derful as a teenager under her maiden name, Beverly Shaffer, and quit making music to help take care of her brothers and sisters .. ."



"...Her daughter, Kelly, uses "Where Will You Be Boy" as a ringtone, and Beverly occasionally looks up her music on YouTube..."
