Johnnie Mae Matthews - I Have No Choice / That's When It Hurts - BIG HIT - RSD 2024
Release Date : May 2024
Release notes go like this
Johnnie Mae Mathews is fondly referred to as being 'The Godmother Of Detroit Soul' as she was responsible for creating at least 8 different Detroit record labels and for discovering and nurturing many future Motown artists in their early years. In fact she was a major source of inspiration for the young Berry Gordy, founder of Motown.
We are delighted to finally be releasing what many people consider to be the pinnacle of independent Detroit Soul music, the impeccable and gut-wrenching 'I Have No Choice', the defining record of Johnnie Mae Mathews many recordings with the equally impressive 'That’s When It Hurts' on the flip. 'I Have No Choice' is a record that has finally hit the heights it always deserved after being a cult record for almost 50 years and is now commanding a staggering £1200-1500 for a decent original copy for those lucky enough to be in that league.
Picture sleeve featuring Johnny herself in full swing and fully remastered, heavyweight vinyl 45.

Phyllis Brown & Dolly & the Fashions Connection
Tlscapital replied to Tlscapital's topic in Look At Your Box
Don't know for 1966 as the few 4 singles released on that Rainbo records company are all dated by 1965 on 45cat.com. But without better reference like Bill Board or Music World charts or review for example but the link with both Cliff Chambers composer and the Dolly & the Fashions last single indicate to me like a close time frame rather than a lengthy one and the Ivanhoe has a year of release. Thanks for that John Vincent play by 1975 tip. Likely as I said a now (for a while but could be proven wrong) a 'dusty' oldie NS sound that could still have got some exposure 10 years after on the decks in less forwarded progressive (doesn't necessarily mean positive to me) clubs hence it's inclusion on that 1985 Soul Supply compilation 'soulful kinda music' but not so much after I'd believe as I never heard it out... -

Phyllis Brown & Dolly & the Fashions Connection
Mal C replied to Tlscapital's topic in Look At Your Box
Just adding some info Tim, 'Oh Baby' and the brill flip 'Why' were both recorded at Gold Star Studios, 6243 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, California. I read as 'OB' was played in the UK by John Vincent at Wigan in 1975. I have 1966 as the release date, maybe 65 was when the Rainbo 45 was recorded. -
Straightening things on Discogs and 45cat.com between the 3 Phyllis Brown discographies (Cali, Texas and Ohio) I see now that her pink label pressing variation on Rainbo records of 'oh baby !' B / W 'why' features Dolly & the Fashions from 'the right one' on Ivanhoe Records and 'absence made my heart grow founder' on Tri Disc. This peculiar credit addition is featured only on the pink release that I only noticed now as I don't own this pink variation and before didn't bother to look closer as to what made them different beside the color variation... For this is a good record that is somehow of a 'taking dust' Northern sound that only got DJ action when first played... The composer Cliff Chambers (also named Willie Headen as singer) and his Cupid Publishing Co. also add to establish the connection between this Phyllis Brown of 'oh baby !' B : W 'why' on Rainbo Records (featuring Dolly + Fashions) and both the previous Dolly & the Fashions records to definitively be one and the same gang at work. It is proposed by some on 45cat.com that Dolly is Dolores Hall. This through the James Carmichael & Earl Nelson, Bob Relf, Fred Smith involvements on both Dolly & the Fashions singles that would then take her to Keymen and Mirwood... Although to my ears the singing of Dolores Hall and Dolly of the Fashions don't really match IMHO. Later by 1967 this Cali Phyllis Brown of ours here joined the Babies. A girl group that got 2 releases on Dunhill. One covering Jerry Butler's 'you make me feel like someone'. The Babies were aiming for bigger things but judging by the number of stock copies versus promos to be found on the market the success was not met. Anyway could this white girl here named Phyllis Brown also be a previously member of the Fashions and went on to do this solo effort on rainbow Records and then went to chance bigger things as lead singer in the Babies group ? Would anyone know better if Dolly & the Fashions are actually related to this Phyllis Brown and if so how ? November 1963 March 1965 1965 1965

Dancing in formation is an intrinsic part of the black roller scene in the US. Some great documentaries on the lesser known element of black culture https://youtu.be/sO8k77AxxXA?si=KEhINI1ej3Tenf1t

Fair point but it was also inspired by a mod lifestyle, transplanted to Brooklyn in the 70's. The writer of the short story that inspired it was a regular at tiles the flamingo and scene club.
