Superlatives - New Jersey and Detroit Groups


Recommended Posts

There had always been discussion about this group being different to the Detroit group

This is the info I have from digging around

This Superlatives were an all male group from New Jersey:
St. Julian (pee wee) Bonaparte (lead)
David Jones (first tenor)
Leon Stuckey (second tenor)
Marvin (mousey) Williams (bass)
Gerald Applewhite (baritone)
Both the tracks, 'i still love you' and 'we're so lonely' were recorded in 1966, at Cameo Parkway in Philadelphia.

The Detroiters were apparently

James Edwards, Billy George Jones, James Stuberfield, Ray Took and Rip Washington. 

It would be nice to know and rectify as I cannot be certain and need your help (I could have missed it on another thread!!!)

maybe better-if rather than reviving old topics if you start a new one

that way the actual title reflects the content etc

 

Guess it really depends on what you mean by rectify?

Heres some topics that may help...

Paul Kyser very own topic 

Various members take

The above info came from a previous topic (the second link Mike posted above) and you missed the last sentence which kinda verifies where the info came from.

The information was lifted from Tim Ashibende's enlightening fanzine 'tracks to your mind' which features interviews about the Superatives with Paul Kyser and Earl Morgan (manager)
