djspproductions Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just acquired this Haystak Bros. 45. Almost have the entire label now. Still missing The Other Kind Band (yellow label) 45 and Big George - Hi Ho Silver (pink label I believe) 45. Has anybody seen this or the Big George record before??? Love to hear some feedback or info.. Haystak Bros. What Have I Done Wrong Love Makes The World Go Round Sounds to me that Mel Anton is singing with few other people on both sides.

Robbk Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 So, Mel Anton and some others are singing. Is it C&W, Pop or Soul style? Haystack Brothers signifies C&W to me. Interesting that James Jamerson is one of the writers. He had been in Joe Hunter's band, and that is why he worked with Fred Brown and Joe Hunter's Kable and Mickay's Records.

djspproductions Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Well the name is spelled different than Jamerson, could be him just under a different monikor. It's has a hint of country but honestly has a slight soul swing to both cuts. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It's has a hint of country but honestly has a slight soul swing to both cuts. Jamerson's name has been spelt "Jameson", and "Jamison" on several records. It's a common name with both those spellings, and a natural mistake. I think it's too much of a coincidence to have the first name start with a "J", last name "Jamison", and James Jamerson was a member of Mickay's and Kable's band leader and arranger, Joe Hunter's band, as well as his good friend, and also had been known to record with Hunter for Ed Wingate's labels, Wilbur Golden's labels, and several other non-Motown Detroit labels while both were moonlighting together.

Yes I see what you mean, it most likely is the man with the HOOK! Here goes a sample clip of both sides so y'all can give it a listen. haystak brothers - mickay's records 45 side a, b_mixdown.mp3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I listened to the 2 snippets. They sound like C&W to me. Perhaps a bit watered down (e.g. Country Pop?). Mel Anton was sort of a Pop singer, who sometimes sang pop with a slight R&B/Soul slant or a slight C&W slant. The R&B/Soul slant came particularly because Fred Brown and Joe Hunter's crew was mostly R&B and Soul writers, and their musicians were mostly Joe Hunters' ex band members (Funk Brothers), plus other Motown musicians, all moonlighting. I can't recognise Jamerson's line on these cuts, but I'd bet that he played on them. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Detroit's English teachers were strong on similes and weak on spelling! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Robbk Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 So Mel Anton and James Jamerson co-produced it. That's the first time I can remember James Jamerson getting producer credits. Until now, I've only seen arranger and songwriting credits. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
