I've never Heard the Thelma Brown and Anita Knori (who was she???), nor "Lover Boy" by Carolyn Crawford. Can we hear snippets of these (Ady)?

[Robbk]

Someone googled Anita Knorl, and found out she was from Washington, D. C. and had attended the same high school as Marvin Gaye. Perhaps she was a relative or friend of Marvin's, and that is what got her the opportunity to record at Hitsville (a tryout?). She recorded "Don't Be Too Long" at Hitsville in November, 1962, with Berry Gordy producing. Apparently, she also recorded "If Wishes Came True" then. That 2nd listing isn't listed on "Don't Forget The Motor City".

Thelma Brown recorded 3 cuts in September 1963: "Cookie Boy", "Dance Yeah Dance", and "Dear Parents". She was recorded by Harvey Fuqua and Gwen Gordy. They were all cut at Hitsville. These were among Harvey and Gwen's first Motown productions just after their Harvey/Tri-Phi labels were amalgamated into Motown Records. "Dear Parents" vocal was recorded at Detroit's Grand Ballroom, and background tracks were added at Hitsville (according to the "Don't Forget The Motor City" listings).
