Eddie Billups/eddie Owen

[soulfulsaint]

Hi

I hope someone can help. I own two versions of 'Shake Off That Dream'

The classic Eddie Billups original, and a 'disco version' which I

found in the USA on a 12" EP under the name Eddie Owen. On the label

of the Billups, the writing credits are 'Owen'.

Question - is Eddie Billups also known as Eddie Owen, are both versions

in fact the same singer and how rare is the Owen version?

Help - confused.
