Soulstu Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Brilliant write up as always Dave, love the Sapphires 'fantastic four' singles to bits.... However, Joe Livingston and George Garner eh? Not being familiar with their earlier singles, is there any evidence of these guys actually singing on the records? Sound like all female backing to me. In fact first time I saw a photo of the Sapphires i thought it was a different group. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If you look at one of the footnotes at the end of the article, it's says Jerry Ross used Nick Ashford, Valerie Simpson and Melba Moore as a backup group - that's probably who you're hearing .

Soulstu Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yep I read that and can certainly hear the female backing, but no Jerry, Nick and no bona fide male group members!... What I'm trying to say is did Joe and George hear the playback and think "am I on this?" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Spookey Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The Sapphires enjoy all of their music but one song stands out from the rest "I Found Too Late," what a sure fire gem that one is. Whatever happened to Carol Jackson and the members of the group? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Spookey Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 David Moore your story on The Sapphires was really good. Enjoyed it from start to finish. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Joel E Turner Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Very nice piece. I'm from Philly and have thought The Sapphires' Who Do You Love was a Philly only hit! Should have known the Northern Soul scene would cotton to it. The song has been played continuously on Philly radio since its release, in no small part due to the recently deceased dj Jerry Blavat.
