Andy Rix Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) It is true .. he put his wife's name on it for 'contractual' reasons Have you got a link to the article you could post ? Andy Edited March 14, 2019 by Andy Rix 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve L Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Its true, George talked about it in his Q&A session at Blackpool a couple of years ago... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wheelsville1 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi Andy,it's in my top ten of all time and I've only just found this out.I suppose it's not particularly an article as such, but if you look under Edwin Starr I have faith in you and play it,George says it was him who wrote and produced it. The stuff he was behind is endless. Chris. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andy Rix Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Jeannine Greer .... Maiden name ... As I recall George was signed to Jobete as a songwriter which was the contractual reason for putting his wife's name on it it was also why any arranger credits, as on the Maltese 45s, were attributed to Mr Lucky ..
