DeDe Warwick 'Funny how we change places' same as DeDe Schwartz on RCA also came out on Musicor as Debra Anderson

That's right. Very peculiar, as she briefly adopted the name because schwartz means "black" in German! (See interview B&S 1976) However as far as I'm aware, the Debra Anderson version on Musicor is a totally different recording and artist.

at the start of his career , admiitted that he styled his voca phrasing after one of his heroes, Anthony Newley ....

Now that you mention it, "Changes" DOES sound a bit like a cross between "Pop Goes The Weasel" and "Strawberry Fair" (Diddle-iddle-I-D-oooooo) !! laugh.gif

Not claming to be knowledgeable or owt, just on nights at work and board, so had a trawel through Dave Rimmers site https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/ and came up with the following
  1. Barbra Acklin = Barbra Allen
  2. Beverly Ann = Beverly Bevers
  3. Lavern Baker = Miss Sharecroper
  4. Bessie Banks = Toni Banks
  5. Blinky = Sondra Williams
  6. Chris Clark = Connie Clark
  7. Shirllee Ellis = Shirlee May
  8. Gloris Lynne = Gloria Alleyne
  9. Freda Payne = Scherrie Payne
  10. Ester Phillips = Little Ester
  11. Sandi Sheldon = Kenni Woods & Kenrda Woods
  12. Dorris Troy = Dorris Payne
  13. Felice Taylor = Florian Taylor
  14. Baby Washington = Justine Washington
  15. Deniece Chandler = Deniece Williams
I guess most will know these & some are a bit obvious, but it kept me busy for the last 40 mins thumbsup.gif

Freda Payne and Scherrie Payne are sisters! Scherrie was in the post-Diana Ross Supremes. -- ZA9
