Fabulous version of 'I Spy For The FBI' on Smash.

Maybe Detroit recorded, maybe New York recorded - but sure sounds like perfect Detroit to me - and top credits too.

But who were the G-Men????

Hi!

 

Luther Ingram: "I first met Robert (Bateman) in my home town, in Alton.  He was with Motown at the time.  He later wanted me to come to New York, and he made himself a part of me making a record."

 

Daisy (Luther's sister): "Luther left for New York in 1965, from Illinois.  He spent lots of time in New York during his career, which is why many probably think he lived in New York, but he never actually changed his residence to New York, though you could say New York was like his second home."

 

Luther: "Jamo Thomas recorded I Spy after I recorded it, and it was a deal between Jamo and, I think, the Impressions.  Jamo was a very nice person and I okayed Jamo for the record."

Thanks Heikki.  I've wanted to know that for a long time.

Hi Richard!

 

I'm afraid it's too long.  I think it's 12 or 14 pages - or even more, I'm at work now, so I don't have the copy in front of me - and numerous people were interviewed for that article.

 

Best regards
