vinylia Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) you_move_me_sample.mp3 Hello This collector mate of mine has had this mysterious acetate for a long time. The only clues on the label are the title "You Really Move Me," the publisher "Devon Music," and the publishing house it is attached to, The Richmond Organization, 10 Columbus Circle, New York, NY, for whom the acetate must have been cut as a demonstration record to find a singer to take it on. The only other clue I've been able to find is a copyright registration for "You Really Move Me" in the name of Billy Barnes, in July 1965 (see images) It's a fantastic soul stormer with a bit of a "Can I Get A Witness" feel in the piano. Could it be the Billy Barnes who recorded for United Artists and Liberty in the late 50s and early 60s, and started out (as Willie Barnes) in groups like The Five Echoes, The Sultans and The Admirals with Eugene McDaniels? Apparently he continued writing songs after he gave up appearing onstage. I finally managed to get a low-resolution sample of the song, and I'm hoping that someone out there can help solve the mystery of who the singer might be. Has this been reissued? Or is an unknown gem? Thanks! Marc Edited February 21, 2019 by vinylia smaller size label 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
