The (Elvitrue) Passions

Posted

Anybody got any history on these ladies?

 

I read Elvitrue was out of  South 7th Street, Wilmington NC, owned by John Lewis Jones  which had a sporadic recording history of around 10 releases, until 1976. The reportoire included pop, soul, gospel, country and funk acts. Though I'm sure I also read it is linked with Ohio based Rite custom publishing? And the NY Satelite Music Publishers connection?

 

 

On "Hello college girl (boy)" the writing credits refer to Camp Lejeune NC — this was / is a marine corps base camp near Wilmington, which ties in with the Elvitrue address. E.J. Chaplin was a marine? What's the deal? 

 

 

Other than that, nowt? Anybody got any other bits, no matter how minor....need a few leads to explore for the next book...

And from the "If you see my baby" 45, we know the Passions were Pat, Connie and Carol - any surnames?
