Non-Motown Jobete Songs

[Andy Rix]

No Jobete credit on the LP sleeve - it states all selections are BMI.

Label just has the writers credit.

Thanks

Appreciate you taking the time to check

This was merely use of one of their old songs they had written for Motown. Popcorn Wylie and Bob Bateman left Motown for Correc-Tone in early 1962. Janey Bradford also worked with Correc-Tone (moonlighting under the alias of Nikky Todd, to avoid provoking and angering Berry Gordy). Bateman and Sonny Sanders' own Satintones first recorded the song for Motown in 1960. Sanders and a reformed Satintones (with Vernon Williams and Sammy Mack) (as The Pyramids) also worked at Correc-Tone. The flip was a Correc-Tone written song, but sold by Golden and Bateman to Brent/Time Records, to get needed cash.

Charles Wright produced this, and wrote the song for Jobete Music. Apparently he worked in the L.A. Jobete Music office in 1963-64.

This was written by Stevenson & Shaw, New York songwriters who had written for Ed Wingate's (Golden World's) Willie Kendrick, and teamed up with Raynoma Liles (Gordy) on this song for New York's Jobete Music Office.
