Steve Edgar Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If you like the mid-tempo crossover sound then I'd recommend Bettye Jean Plummer "Baby I Want You Back" coupled with a brill version of the standard "I Believe" and only a cheapie steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The Francis Burr has a couple bluesy cuts on her release. I assume that you know about The V Wagers (Five Wagers)-"Lucky I Found You". Bobby Rush had several 45s released on Salem. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

V Wagers.. another one!. also the flip of "Luck I Found You" the excellent "Until I Found You" steve Yes, but THAT was originally released on Sebon Foster's other label: Nation Time Records (formerly Nation Records).

Kris Holmes Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I do like the Bobby Rush 45 I have on this label, pretty sure I have other good ones filed away but am blanking on what they are right now. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pomonkey Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Nothing beats Frances Burr "I say no, no more", but Jimmy Ellis "Putting it on your mind" is a winner too Edited July 18, 2012 by pomonkey 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Anyone know anything about Charles & The Esquires on Salem? I do know that those "Esquires" are not the same Milwaukee group that had the hits with Bunky on Bunky and Wand records. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Anyone know anything about Charles & The Esquires on Salem? no, except there are also two singles, one billed as Charles McNair. They share a side I think, I would have to pull them out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Robbk Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It took me a very long time to get a copy. I think I've only seen it 2-3 times at most. That one must be VERY, VERY rare. I've never seen it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 That one must be VERY, VERY rare. I've never seen it. Not "VERY VERY" but it is rare. The 5 wagers have two other records that are much harder to find. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Anyone know anything about Charles & The Esquires on Salem? whoa, total coincidence, but i saw this age title I'd never seen before and just bought it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/370629274320?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 I actually thought I probably had the whole label but never tried to write down the catalog to check. But I hadn't seen this one. Anyways, if you listen to the sound clips, it sounds like the voice on the Charles McNair records and the writer on this is McNair. Maybe I'm over-hearing a similarity because the topic is up now but it is a distinctive voice. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's very nice. I've never seen that Age record. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
