Really ??????

Lady In Green Magnetics are from Detroit, and Count The Days Magnetics are from Chicago. If it's the same lead singer he must have done a lot of commuting. And it's a still unconfirmed rumour that The Magnetics are the same group as The Volumes.

That's the day's when, with only three 'known' copies, all resided within a 50 mile radius of each other in East Anglia.. mine, Kev Draper's and, of course, John Anderson's !!

I feel East Anglia has alway's been hard done buy when it comes to recognition for their (ongoing, even) contribution(s) to our wonderous Soul Scene. (Look at the stuff Glen Bellamy, for example, has 'unearthed'.. where the DJ's he's sold them to have gone on to make them 'Classics' and attain the associated recognition of 'breaking' them). :ohmy:

It's Johnny Mckinney, not "lee mckinley", he also went by 'lee' (he's Johnny Lemac on Brewtown and Chess) but not "mckinley". He was living in Chicago and Milwaukee at different times in the 60s and 70s but the rest of the magnetics are from the south side of Chicago.

Hi Boba,

Are you confirming that the Magnetics on Bonnie are the same group as the Chicago based one? Can you link the groups together? The Magnetics on Bonnie is one of the last great mysteries of Duke Browner's work. It would be great to finally work out exactly who they were. The only link to the Volumes rumour is Duke Browner and the fact that they are both group harmony soul songs. Bit scant on info reference the Bonnie Magnetics. Any help appreciated.

Do you know the dates of the Volumes releases? The Magnetics is around November 1965, perhaps they changed their names to the Volumes as there was a girl group on Motown called the Magnetics around that time.

I'm pretty sure the magnetics on bonnie are not the chicago group. Johnny McKinney remembered the 6 sides I know of and didn't mention the bonnie 45. I was talking about the magnetics on sable / J-V. Johnny McKinney cut records as a solo artist on MAD, Clock, and then as Johnny Lemac on Chess / Brewtown. I can look at a bonnie label scan to see if I recognize the names of any of the other members also, though, I will try to dig up a scan.

Also, this confuses the picture more, but Johnny did talk about auditioning for Berry Gordy (he even had a note from Berry). But I think that we before he met his group the magnetics. I'm trying to get in contact with the other members (who actually were 'the magnetics' before McKinney joined the group so I guess they could have done something before), when I do, I will have further confirmation that they are or are not the bonnie group.

Thanks for the scan, given that it's just duke browner on that record, I won't know until I talk to the other members. I just met Johnny a couple of weeks ago and will get in contact with the other members soon, I will let you know what they say about their group before Johnny joined.

Hi Boba,

Excellent. Duke Browner's association with The Volumes goes back to the Big Top/Harry Balk days. I doubt that The Volumes are the Magnetics as it doesn't make sense to change names midstream whilst trying to establish a group. (Unless of course they were moonlighting from Harry Balk's Impact label maybe but Duke Browner would have no reason to do that as he and Harry were close. When I spoke to Harry last year he new nothing of a group called The Magnetics but new about The Volumes. Look forward to hearing what Johnny remembers about those days.

Hi Simon,
Excellent. Even got the date on. My reasoning is that if Harry remembered The Volumes but not them being renamed The Magnetics then it's still only a rumour about them being one and the same line up. Thanks for scanning the reg cert. Nice! If only Andy had got Mr Browner to open up eh?

Interesting Boba, I got mixed up with one of these records on Sable??.
The MagneticsRather a mish mash of a discography this one. There are at least five different groups using the name The Magnetics, so all are listed below.

The Magnetics (From Philadelphia)

Ra-Sel R7-104 - I Have A Girl / Love And Devotion - 1967
The Philadelphia Magnetics have as far as I know only the one release, although other releases on the
Ra Sel label exist. John Anderson at Soul Bowl is rumoured to have several unreleased acetates by the group.


The Magnetics (From Detroit)

Bonnie 107374 - Lady In Green / Heart You're Made Of Stone - 196?
The Detroit Magnetics are possibly the same group that recorded on Allrite (Because of the Detroit association of the label). However, according to Dennis Coffey (Who played on both group's sessions) are NOT The Volumes recording under a different name as was once thought.


The Magnetics (No idea where from although I would suspect Detroit, so it might even be the same group)

Allrite 620 - Where Are You / The Train - 1962


The Magnetics (From Detroit)

Hitsville Acetate - Father Time
Histville Acetate - Please Don't Go Away
The second Detroit Magnetics are definitely a white sounding girl group, which according to Andy Rix, are not particularly good, which would account for the tracks never gaining an actual release.


The Magnetics (From Chicago)

Sable 102 - When I'm With My Baby / Count The Days - 196?
J-V 2501 - Oh Love / Wasting Time - 1969
The Chicago Magnetics releases have Lee McKinney as the lead singer, so are all the same group.


Lee McKinney & The Magnetics (Same group from Chicago)

Sable 104 - I'll Keep Holding On / ? - 196?

The Magnetics (No idea where from, but definitely a different group)

Sound Trap 30391 - Let Me Comfort You / Good By My Love - ?
The group on Sound Trap are a complete mystery to me. Help anyone ?

Keep me guessing but you'll find I possess a one track mind Oh! Please.

The sound trap group is from virginia and was a cheap record until some seller hyped it up recently and now it's expensive. Sort of cool and basement sounding.

The flip of the other sable title is something like "jackie baby" (but it has a longer title), I can see if I can dig it up.

I've read that The Magnetics on Bonnie were made up of a morphed version (personnel changes) of The Magnetics that had recorded for Allrite Records, with the Volumes' later lead singer (not falsetto lead Eddie Union-but their lead on the later Inferno releases). I seem to remember Ron Murphy mentioning this (possibly on Soulful Detroit Forum).

Yes, Gerald Mathis. That's the guy.

J. (John) "SoulSmith" (Smith) interviewed former Volumes' member, Bobby Peterson (during a Prestatyn visit to UK), which can be found here:

http://jsoulsmith.bl...cs-volumes.html

What he says that Peterson revealed jibes with the other story that was going around, that they were, indeed, actually the Volumes' lineup that existed after Eddie Union had left the group to pursue a solo career. Assuming this is true, I still am inclined to think that there is a connection to the Allrite label group (at least one member).

The Downbeats were led by Johnny Dawson. I remember having seen the names of the other three members, as well as all of the names of The Allrite Magnetics, and if I remember correctly, NONE of them matched. I'm almost positive that The Magnetics on Allrite did not have any connection to Motown's Downbeats.

I think "that early Detroit group recorded but without release for Motown" he was referring to was not the Magnetics but the similar sounding Majestics who later changed their name to the Monitors.

I doubt it, as the Magnetics who recorded the two acetates at Motown were a white sounding girl group.

I don't think the Magnetics who recorded "Father Time"/ "Please Go Away" were the same group who turned into the
Downbeats either.
I thought Duke miight have confused the Majestics with the Magnetics when he said "they later changed their
name to the Downbeats".

As it says in my article the members of the Magnetics who cut “The Train” in 1962 for Allrite were Bobby Peterson, Sharon Peterson, Tony Johnson (lead singer), Jackie Perkins and Candi Bell.
The members of the Volumes / Magnetics who cut “Lady In Green” for Bonnie were Gerald Mathis (lead singer), Bobby Peterson, Elijah Davis, Ernest Newsome & William ‘Pete’ Crawford.
Finally the members of the Volumes were came over to sing at Prestatyn in 2009 were Eddie Union (ex 1960's Volume), Elijah Davis (ex 1960's Volume & 'Bonnie 'Magnetic), William (Pete) Crawford (ex 1960's Volume & 'Bonnie' Magnetic) and Bobby Peterson (ex 1960's Volume & 'Allrite' + 'Bonnie' 'Magnetic).
After his spell in the group, Tony Johnson (ex Allrite Magnetic) teamed with Tyrone Pickens as the duo Tony & Tyrone.
Ex 1960's Volume members Ernest Newsome and Gerald Mathis passed away prior to 2009 when the group came to the UK. Another of the Volume’s ex lead singers Jimmy Burger had by 2000 become a minister and was no longer prepared to go back to performing secular music.
Thus the 4 guys that played Prestatyn in 2009 included the only 3 surviving members of the group that cut “Lady In Green”.
All the above facts are as told to me by Elijah Davis, William (Pete) Crawford, Bobby Peterson and Eddie Union (though Eddie had no knowledge at all of the groups Magnetics period as he wasn't involved with the other guys at all during those times).

There's also a photo of the 4 guys performing that I took back in 2009.

I remember looking over your shoulder whilst you were reading the said Soul Bowl list Chris! Quite a reasonable price 28 years ago!

I KNEW there was a link between the Allrite and Bonnie Magnetics. It was Bobby Peterson. After his Magnetics broke up, he joined The Volumes. When The Volumes (minus Eddie Union) wanted to use a different name, Peterson must have suggested his old group's name.

Right, so having waded through all the posts, I've changed the discography on SKM to look like this

The Magnetics (From Detroit. Members: Bobby Peterson, Sharon Peterson, Tony Johnson (lead singer), Jackie Perkins and Candi Bell). When Tony Johnson left the group he teamed up with Tyrone Pickens to record as the duo Tony & Tyrone

Allrite 620 - Where Are You / The Train - 1962

The Magnetics (From Detroit. Members: Gerald Mathis (lead singer), Bobby Peterson (the same singer who was in the Magnetics on Allrite), Elijah Davis, Ernest Newsome & William ‘Pete’ Crawford) This group was in fact The Volumes who were at the time in between contracts.

Bonnie 107374 - Lady In Green / Heart You're Made Of Stone - 1965

The Magnetics (From Detroit. The third Detroit Magnetics are definitely a white sounding girl group, which according to Andy Rix, are not particularly good, which would account for the tracks never gaining an actual release.)

Hitsville Acetate - Father Time
Histville Acetate - Please Don't Go Away

The Magnetics (From Philadelphia) (The Philadelphia Magnetics have as far as I know only the one release, although other releases on the Ra Sel label exist. John Anderson at Soul Bowl is rumoured to have several unreleased acetates by the group.)

Ra-Sel R7-104 - I Have A Girl / Love And Devotion - 1967

The Magnetics (From Chicago The Chicago Magnetics releases have Lee McKinney as the lead singer, so are all the same group.)

Sable 102 - When I'm With My Baby / Count The Days - 196?
J-V 2501 - Oh Love / Wasting Time - 1969

Lee McKinney & The Magnetics (Same group from Chicago)

Sable 104 - I'll Keep Holding On / Jackie Baby - 196?

(M.F.Williams) "featuring" THE MAGNETICS vocal with instrumental accompaniment BY: The Sounds Unlimited. (From Richmond)

Sound Trap 30391/2 - Let Me Comfort You / Good By My Love - ?

Can anyone add anything more, such as the Chicago lineup ?

the chicago lineup is in my interview but I would have to go back and listen. I am about to be offline for a while if someone else cares to listen and post here first.
