Hi everyone

 

Valerie & Nick had several excellent releases on Glover records.

 

Although "I'll Find You" was the same song as by the Bee-Jays on the Detroit-based Prime label, am I right in thinking that the Glover label and Valerie & Nick's other recordings on Glover were New York recordings and not Detroit-related in any way?

 

Cheers

  • I actually like the Valerie and Nick version of "I'll find you" better than the Bee Jays. The Bee Jays is just a duo, only two voices. The Valerie and Nick actually has at least 3 voices, don't know i

Yes def. NY recorded for Henry Glover's label in the city 1964-5. Valerie was from The Bronx and Nick had gone to NY in search of fame and fortune.....Detroit came much later....

Such a great story of how they came together, and is it true there's a park bench in Bryant park inscribed many years later with the legend ' Nick Ashford slept here ' ?

He certainly walked about a lot, since I believe they met when he turned up at her church at White Rock in search of a meal, quite a way from Bryant Park.

 

I prefer V&N's original too.
