I know of J & W 1001-Sue Perrin - "Can't Let Go"  (1964) and Stewart Ames-"Oh Angelina"-(1965?).  What other releases did this Golden World subsidiary have?  Can we piece together a discography?

I don't think there are any others Robb, I have a gospel 45 on a unrelated J & W label (also from Detroit)

I have the following for J & W Records:

 

1000 Stewart Ames - "King For A Day"/"Oh Angelina"              1964

1001 Sue Perrin -       "I Can't Let Go"/"Clickety Clack Heart"   1964

 

The following were also listed by David Meikle, in a 2002 post on a Soulful Detroit Forum thread, referring to Ed Wingate, himself, having recently stated in a previous SDF post:

 

100 Willie Morganfield (Blues artist)-stated by David to have been the first release in late 1962.

101 Sue Perrin - "I Wonder"/"Put A Ring on My Finger"           1962

104 Sue Perrin - "Ring, bells, Ring"/"You Are My Only Love"   1963

 

However, I believe that Mr. Wingate confused J & W with his early, 1962 Golden World releases, or, at least, he was referring to Golden World releases 100-105 as having been released in 1962, without stating that he had changed his discussion from J & W to Golden World.  My reasoning for that conclusion is because Golden World 101 and 104 were identical to what is listed here as J & W 101 and 104 (which I have, myself); and I have also seen Willie Morganfield as the artist for Golden World 100.

 

I don't believe there were J & W releases in 1962.

 

If any of you can give me some more information on these questions, please do.

Hi Robb

 

Will check this against the 45s and info I have - but think Tony has got it on spot on.

 

Cheers

Willie Morganfield's name also appears on the J&W gospel 45s, so maybe there is a connection?

Is Ed Wingate still alive ?

Is Ed Wingate still alive ?

No!  He passed on in 2006.  I don't know if JoAnne Bratton is still alive.
