Ree Flores and M&H Records: An Article by Jordan Wilson I frequently have a tendency to delve into researching a particular subject, only to find myself veering off course after about a month or so, leaving some interesting facts sat on my computer’s desktop. Some might attribute this behaviour to ADHD, but who knows?

Fantastic article Jordan, so informative and precise. Thought would add his memorial so folks can see a few pictures of him that were posted after his passing, November 25th 2021

Excellent work mate, very informative 

Fantastic research and insight into the artist Jordan and a great acknowledgement and recognition of his wonderful music, which is truly deserved

Great article - keep getting sidetracked too & opening up related off shoots.

 

Well played Jordan.

Great piece of work. Look forward to the record!

Excellent stuff Jordan. A record I've been after for donkey's years and really interesting to read this article putting flesh on the bones.

Great Job Jordon, very informative, and for you the love of the chase must of been exciting...

Superb. Such a massive rare record by both artists. Now we all know a lot more behind its creators. Well done.

That's a brilliant piece Jordan. Really interesting stuff. Mrs D says you should translate it into French.

Really enjoyed reading that.  Thanks very much

I've always been a fan of both versions of 'Look Into My Heart,'

Great article Jordan - what's the other version though? I only know the Ree Flores

What a terrific piece Jordan, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into filling in the missing pieces of what we know.

I never knew, until very recently, that the Duprells were signed to back Sam Cooke just before he was killed.

thanks for that Alan, the Duprells were my favorite band  ever

That makes sense. Wasn't it Bumps that leveraged Sam away from the Soul Stirrers

This article tells all

What an awesome piece of investigative journalism. So in-depth and informative. Jordan Wilson take a bow. Your desire and enthusiasm for rare soul, and, to attain as much knowledge as possible, has just gone to another level.

Having been around Jordan for many years, it quickly became apparent to me, that him owning the record, didn't quench his thirst. He also has a huge desire to know about the artist, writer, producer, label, pressing plant, recording studio etc.

The amount of dead ends, hurdles, brick walls etc he comes up against, never saps his stamina, it's one step back and two forward to Jordan, confident that he will eventually find a route, through the branches in the big soul family tree. 

High class information which can now be added to previous historic data, that is now a part of Soul folklore.

Just thought it was worth adding that Shelly Garrett (RIP 2018) who, at one stage was married to Melissa Morgan received a "Hollywood, walk of fame star" in 2018. I have attached a link about him

There is also a link here with playlist of The Fasades (and picture of the group)

 

 

Great article and nice to see the scene is in good hands with the likes of Jordan. Look forward to more in-depth articles in the future.
