Hi. Today I did part 1 of an interview of an interesting singer / songwriter who was in a lot of different groups, most of them Milwaukee-based. Billy Miller was part of the Inspirations on Galaxie / Midas, Billy and the Hi-liners, the Soulful Twins (aka Billy and Betty), Brethren, and a few more groups. Billy has an interesting story that is long enough to cover two different radio shows. You can listen to part 1 here:

I will be doing part 2 next week. Check out my other soul group interviews at:

thanks for your interest,

Wow, this is great, took me an age to get Billy and the Highlighters on Air Play, seems its been booted (Green label over there, due to interest from the vocal group / doo wop collectors...

great stuff

Hi Bob, so the Soulful Twins on Sable are same as Billy and Betty on Sagport if I am reading that correctly?

Brilliant stuff as usual, will do my ironing to that tonight

It has not been booted. The green label is a much much rarer original, non-promo. Some ahole started that rumor to piss off someone who had an original stock copy

really? can you believe it, some chap who was selling one (green Issue) told me it was a boot, and I said I'll wait for a WD, where's the phone??

mal

green is much rarer, and is the stock copy. i saw someone post some BS about the originals being purple, there are no purple copies.

part 2 is online now:

Cool photo of Billy and Betty aka the Soulful Twins

Enjoyed part one so look forward to part two when I get home and download.

Many thanks.

Enjoyed the links, sad to see that Boba had passed, he did an amazing job in the interviews with these groups/artists...Billy Miller got in touch with me and sent some pictures which he said was fine to share, as this thread is about him, seems appropriate to upload here. Anyone who is interested with contact with Billy, I can pass his e-mail or phone number on to you. First Picture: Billy & The Hi-liners, 2nd picture: Brethren.
