Colin I have The Ohio Players 45 on Commpas,wich is a female singer,and the Lp version is a male vocal.. I think the 45 female vocalist is Towanda Barnes!!

wasn't that the tune that was booted on a 45 recently as towanda barnes ?

I dont know mate, would not suprise me, I have not heard it, this is an acetate I bought in the late 1980's at a niter and is just a dub presumably

Cheers mate, I have seen it. The acetate has "Herman Hitson" scrawled on it. Its sounds more like Herman than Towanda. I guess Towanda would not sing "lonely lonely man am I" unless she has recently visited a gender assignement clinic lol

4. I think is Herman Hitson's unreleased version.

Can't hear 2 & 3, but guessing 3 might be First Time by the Embers on JCP?

I have just registered with the site again Simon, so I can host clips, may take a day or so for paypal payment to work its way through. Could be the Embers on reflection, starts of with heavy horns then mellows out

That's how the Embers starts.

2. Carl Carlton did a song 'why don't they leave us alone'

is it this one - this is the embers 'first time', a great piece of northern soul IMO.

i've got that carl carlton somewhere too will try to dig out if no-one else does

Unreleased I believe Col. Richard Searling played it off an acetate at Clifton Hall/Stafford and certainly Wigan

Edited February 9, 200619 yr by SteveM

The acetate with Hermon Hitson on it is supposedly Nate Adams who recorded on Atlantic. He and Sam Williams both had records produced by Johnny Brantley.
