Just wondering if these two are the same person? But don't sound the same

They're both on labels out of Memphis. 

 

Just to end a long running debate, is Henry C black or white?

Couldn't seem to upload the Henry C label, So here it is! ^

Don't know but Sir Henry is.............................

 

 

some fella was on here  a few years back trying to sell the tapes to he left you standing there. maybe it was him. 

If you listen to the flip of Henry C it does not sound blue eyed...

Mick H tracked the band down he would know.

Several early Memphis groups were racially mixed. Think of The MGs or LH & The Memphis Sounds.

 

Taking a wild guess I'd say Henry C is the song's writer Henry Thomas. The singing on both sides sounds black to me, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if members of the backing group were white.

I see, so are Henry C and Sir Henry Ivy the same person?

Don't think so Henry is Henry K Ivy, so the 'C' sorta wouldn't make sense. Plus when I saw him a couple of years ago I'm sure he said he only recorded the 2 45's

I have the Henry C & Ivy leaguers on a Pepper sound studios acetate but its only credited to Henry C (no Ivy leaguers) and its hand written in pencil. Does that throw anymore light on it??

 

I guess its not the same person based on what Dave Thorley pointed out although I still wouldn't rule it out completely.

Yeah, that sounds right then Mr Thorley! Likely to be two different people. Thanks!

Their singing sounds different too when you listen to the two tracks...
