Just had a email which reveals the long running mystery of just who sang the andy rix/butch play

World Of Happiness

I happened to have a random conversation with a friend where Italked about an old 45 (with a handwritten label) that my mother playedfor me as a young teenager of her singing a song called 'World ofHappiness'. My mom recorded a 'demo' for the song for Weldon Mc DougalIII, owner of Hawthon Records in Philly on her 18th birthday in 1965.

After that little trip down memory lane, I became curious to findout whatever became of the song. I was wondering if theproducers/writers/record label had found a different singer to recordand officially release the song at some point.

After speaking with my mother and trying to find out what sheremembered about the people involved, I did a Google search using thebits of info she remembered and the song title.

Was it posted by Jackie Forrest's son

Wow !!!!

I dont know that much about records but how interesting & very sweet if it is her mum who sang on the acetate (excuse me if Ive used the wrong phrase-like I say I now eff all bout records).

Im a pushover when it comes to a nice ending tho so here's hoping all concerned reach a happy ending.

Thanks for that Mike.

Definitely be good to find out who the Singer Is & Credit Her Correctly for her work.

Thanks Mike

I've asked the Harthon Trio if the name rings any bells. Will report back once they've replied.

Interesting to see Cindy Scott isn't a real person??????????

I know I've had litle sleep the last two days but am I missing summat? I can see Hollispmonroe posted the topic but I don't see any reference to the mothers name

She isn't really.

Cindy Scott = Sandra Kay Tucker, real name Sundray Tucker.

Best,

John.

my mom didn't really record after that. she continued on singing gospelbut she didn't make any other records. in any event, her name backthen was Shirley Turner.

Shirley Turner - World Of Happiness - Virtue acetate

 

can't get this to play

Same here...

I wonder just how many different cuts/versions of this there are?

I was just listening to an old recording of Butch, and the version that he was playing was far superior to the ones I've heard before.

At least two different cuts I recall. The acetate that Andy Rix turned up had a nice flip too, "in one ear and out the other".

I've heard 3 now Benji

The story of 'World Of Happiness' and who/how found them was in Issue #4 of There's That Beat! in The Harthon Story. I have had a reply from two of the Harthon Trio reference Hollis' mother but am awaiting a reply from the third.

Kenny Burrelll has a take as well, Peggy Byres or summat like. It's a very diferent take if I remember rightly but I've not heard it for some time.

other side mentioned is up here

think can hear Andy Rix telling how they came about using Cindy Scott as name on one of the rarest of the rare jazz fms

aint got time to check if the actual one is up in the radio section on here,

there are a couple up, but if isnt let me know and can wack it up

If I remember correctly weren't Andy and Rob in Philly, en route to see Ms Scott in LA when they obtained the acetate, and chose that as the artists name for the disc?

History is all about dates. I first heard this in NC in 1991 courtsey of a house guest on an acetate sourced in Philly. The acetate was uncredited as far as I remember but the title was " I Wish You A World Of Happiness ". Both of us remarked Oh! a vocal to Bird Walkin' ! Cheers, Ady

1. In any case this guy should be proud that his Mother sang on one version of what has been a revelation as far as newly found material (at least many years after Bird Walking was beeing played at Cleggy!).
