Following on from a post made by RobbK in the Judy Highes thread. There are Jobete songs that were recorded and released by non-Motown/label artists. However, perhaps some of these songs may have been recorded by Motown artists and could be lurking on tapes in the archives.

1. Can any of you list any non-Motown Jobete songs.

and

2. Perhaps suggest Motown artists you would like to uncover an unreleased version by.

3. Have these archives already been checked over many times (in which case, end of thread!)

I'd be interested at least!! (and my Motown knowledge is limited)

Cheers

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.
