Just looking through some label scans and came upon Alexander Patton "A lil lovin sometimes" On a Capitol demo,

The single was produced by Jimmy Mack,

Is this the same person who sang "My world is on fire",

And is there any connection with this Jimmy Mack and the one mentioned in the Martha and The Vandellas record of JM

Thanks in advance

Speaking of the 45 itself,I always thought it was reasonably rare item,but the last couple of years it’s seams there is one around every corner! At least 6 on Discogs alone! Compared to the people’s choice and the  couple of other bits on this palmer variation jimmy mack is in abundance,and to be a bore on values,why is jimmy Mack usually 1500 upwards, and people’s choice half that? Isn’t people’s choice much rarer and dare I say it a better quality tune?

I don't think "My World Is On Fire" is super rare, but it's such a great record that the demand always has, and does, outstrip demand. A lot of copies will be coming from of ageing collectors, as it's going for strong money.

"Saving My Loving For You" Peoples Choice is a great record as well. But they are different records that happen to be on the same label, so why does any record sell for more than another!

When records are as good as these, I just like them all.

Are we talking about People's Choice on Palmer?

 

Yes. Who first did 'Hot Wire' on Grand Land (later re done by Al Green) then re-released on Palmer then who did 'Savin' All My Lovin'.

So will this be the same Jimmy Mack who also produced The Furys amongs others, who later became the TV and movie actor James Mceachin of Tenafly fame, who was also a decorated soldier.

I have just heard a report that James McEachin passed last night, RIHP

"Silver Star, Purple Heart veteran of the Korean War, an accomplished actor, and an award-winning author. Known as "Jimmy Mack" in the music industry, McEachin was a producer, songwriter, and eventually owner of the record label Mack IV"
