i think it might have been a ron murphy thing? those detroit stars records are 80s releases of previously unreleased material i think.

Yes,not a real time release.Must have been taken from the master tapes?

Thanks Lad,

I know the instrumental was by the groovesville men...

Pat Lewis co wrote it so probably did the original so that someone else could learn it. She's in the country - let's ask her!

Didn't know that Rob, always thought it was penned by George McGreggor on his own, don't credit Pat on the label, then agian it don't credit Mike Terry for the wonderful string arrangement either? thanx for that

Conner! the Verve release for Terri Bryant was released in march 1967, and recorded at Ralph Terrana's "Terra Sherma" studio in Detroit. (but ya mebs knew that mate)

Why the title change Rob? Was this released on the back of the US series "I dream of Genie".? Hence change to "Geni".

Don't know. Probably the original full title that was shortened for some reason. I confirmed with Pat that this was the original title. Doubt your 'Genie' theory because wasn't that a woman's name, whereas this 'Geni' was the magic kind!!

In "I dream of Jeannie" it was a double entendre, the woman's name was "Jeannie" but she was also a Genie. So it might have been inspired by the show, who knows (I guess Pat knows actually).

The missing 'e' could speak volumes!!
