Silhouettes -Website

Silhouettes -Website

The link below is to a site dedicated to The Silhouettes which has been put together with a great deal of effort and care.

 

There is much, in fact a great deal to read, learn and enjoy. Great thanks must go to Elaine Lewis the widow of Rick Lewis for what has been made available. It's a credit to the men who wrote and sang together; Bill, Earl, Raymond, Richard, John and Cornelius.

 

She has recently produced a double CD (unique in many ways) of all their recorded songs including rehearsal out-takes, snippets of interviews and other moments caught on tape. This unique piece of production can only be sourced directly from Elaine at lewra@aol.com. I received a copy this way using Paypal recently. This really is a fantastic record of men at work doing what they love.

 

This is not a mass produced CD, but a very personal and close up record of a great male harmony group who gave so much, but, as is often the case, they received little in return. Doo-wop / transitional / soul / northern...........it's all there to be enjoyed. Give it a try.

Please note that the CD's contains much more than the jukebox and the clarity is far superior.

Hey, Calum, it might sound an odd question, but are you the same person who set up a Silhouettes website a few years ago and also used to frequent the WebmasterWorld forums?

Thanks, Calum! Yes, I Wanna Know is on the CD and I do have a clip of Bill talking about how he recorded these great songs and he never heard a word about them ever again! He never knew that I Wanna Know became a Northern Soul classic--as it should have been and deserved to be! A really great song, I love it! At least Bootsie did get to learn that one of his songs (Not Me Baby) was a big record in the UK. That meant a lot to him. Anyway, thanks for posting I Wanna Know. It should give everyone an idea of what's on this CD--so many amazing, great songs, and all in mint condition.

Welcome, Elaine. :hatsoff2:

What can you tell us about this CD, how you went about getting it together and what motivated you to do so?
