Anything much known about this guy who I guess was NY based ........

In December 1966 he had a 45 out on the little Jamaican (NY) based label Getit. One side of this "52 Times Before" was a very messy NS dancer but it has it's fans .... 

............ there was a famous American Preston Foster but he was an actor & a lot older (a bit like a US version of Kegsy).

  • That sounds like a perfect candidate for some of the rare & underplayed nights, the more underplayed the better IMHO.

Seems that BMI even get the 2 Preston Foster's mixed up ..... I'm sure 'our guy' didn't actually write most of the other songs on this list ......

THIS Preston Foster deffo didn't write "Got My Mojo Workin", that was a 3rd PF (Preston 'Red' Foster -- a jazz guy) ..........

..... EVERY UK based R&B band did the song in the 60's .... lots did it live when they played Sheffield's King Mojo Club (can't think why) ...

.......... here's LJB doing it on RSG ...........
