Vanguards for me , The Stoppers version is not even the best imo, Roddie Joy's is I'm sure Pete S will agree as the record is white and dripping in pop

From the Stoppers label, it was produced by one of the writters and so it might be the original version? Weren't Jublee and Red Bird NY labels whereas the Vanguards I think is is Indiana, so doubt there much of a connection between the groups, unless it was the same Jimmy on both vocals?

Have got both the Stoppers and Roddie Joy 45's, but only ever seem to play the Red Bird release, remember Joe Dutton had a Canadian demo of Roddie Joy, wish i had bought that now, great 45'.

The Stoppers was a big record among LA's "Cholo" community, apparently. Latino kids with long key-chains and low-riding motors. This was a big market for a lot of 'rare' black harmony group records from all eras up until the early 80s, when hip-hop seemed to become their music of choice. So as well as the beach music scene there was also a reasonably large Angeleno fan-base for the kinds of records we were searching for too.

On the merits of the two records: give me The Vanguards every time. This sent shivers up my spine when I first heard it. Over-familiarity may have dulled its' edge, but, my god, has there ever been more soulful group-singing on a dancefloor smash? I include the likes of the Dells and Masqueraders in this analysis and await the inevitable flak...

The Stoppers is a nice record but I don't think it is very similar to the Vanguards. The Vanguards is perhaps played out here and there, but whatever the case I think it is easily one of the best records to go big on the soul scene in recent years.
