REGGIE ALEXANDER-ITS BETTER-BOSS

NOW ITS SOUNDS LIKE ANDY WILLIAMS,I WONDERED IF HE IS THE ARTIST,BUT GOING UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME.

ALSO THE B SIDE"CONFUSION" IS WRITER CREDITED TO A.WILLIAMS....BIT OF A COINCIDENCE!

i like the production on the record...but if it is andy williams...it sours it a bit for me...no offence to andy,he was a great singer!

Hi dobber if it is soured for you I will have or a fiver lol

Funnily enough when I wrote dobber the iPad changed it to robber lol

How you doing got snowed in yet

Mark

I said exactly the same thing the last time this record came up.

But A Williams is maybe Andre Williams?

(Going back 15 years or so I think Ady compared the two in a Kent cd sleeve note)

Edited by Pete S

Could the 'A. Williams' even be a spelling mistake given that Herbie Williams of Pied Piper is credited on the other side 'H. Williams'?

Just a thought.

The writer credits on the bside are...a.williams s.barnes h.williams

I just think with the vocal and twinkling piano it sounds like andy williams.

Oh and hi mark! Let me think a fiver...umm no! And no snow yet mate,but I'm sure its on its way.

Are you well my friend?

The writer credits on the bside are...a.williams s.barnes h.williams

That blows my theory then I guess :lol: :lol:

Mold sounds a bit like gold, but it doesn't mean it is! Eddie Parker sounds a bit like Eddie Floyd! Just coincidence I think!

Who's Andy Williams?? In fact don't ell me, I've got a Reggie and I don't need ya spoiling ity for me too :P

Who did the other version of this can't think of it at the moment

Nice video though !

Ha! Ha! You're kidding, of course! Reggie's singing is SLIGHTLY reminiscent of MOR's Andy Williams.

But, this singer was Detroit's Reggie Alexander. I've seen his name on several other Detroit records.

A. Williams is clearly Andre Williams, who worked on many Sport/Boss/Sir Rah productions. He had his OWN release on Sport, "Pearl Time". How could anyone think the "A. Williams" on this record is ANOTHER, different A. Williams? The odds are way too slim.

You're forgetting that Andre Williams was one of the major producers, songwriters and even performing artists with Sport/Boss/Sir Rah Records. His "Pearl Time" sold more than any of The Dramatics records, and probably took second place to sales of ALL of their releases only to "You Don't have To Say You love Me" by The Four Sonics.

Now YOU'RE joking, right??? :yes:

Actually, I wasn't. I write, (and draw) Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories for Dutch, Danish, and German Walt Disney publications. Some of my stories (5 to be exact) appeared in British Donald Duck Magazine during the early 1990s. Maybe that's why the Disney Comics experiment there failed? :lol:

That's very interesting Rob. I have a brother who is a struggling, self taught, wildlife artist.
