Cheers uroffal, Sometimes i put my shoes on the wrong foot too. Must have been the Phillips connection that confused me. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Someething in the back of my mind is telling me that Dennis Brennan, US record dealer from Harrisburgh, Penn was amember of this group. Can someone confirm or am I losing the plot? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

For anyone else that is interested in Ollie Mac and his Detroit connections.... His son is a media production guy and currently researching/preparing a documentary on his fathers life and work. I think Sharon and a number of others will hopefully feature in it. Barbara Lewis, Matt Lucas, Harry Balk etc are all still around and hopefully Ollie's story will be on film, told by by the people who surrounded him. I'll try and keep folks updated as and when developments occur. I suspect that the way people's lives intertwined that this project may have lots of "tentacles".

Hi Lenny, Rob did a great feature in the last issue of Theres That Beat! about the Just Brothers. He's done an equally great piece on the late great Emanuel Laskey in the upcoming Issue too. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub .com

Used to have a nice White Polydor Demo of this. Can't remember where it is now! Came out on a nice White Demo (Thomas) with a cool, groovy lookin' pic sleeve too. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hey Hey! Mitre was Pat Allen and Ray. Had a few good scoops up there at the time. The Circulation was on Oxford Road. Sean Caine and I started the nights there and then Ginger did the Allniters a few years later. If you're a local do you remember any of these....

Thanks guys. I'd heard the story of T Hestor being killed but never had it confirmed. Dave T - Thanks for the update on Popcorn. Seems at one stage half the records played at our house had their illustrious names on them somewhere! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Tommy, I have this also. In fact I think there were a series of them. I suspect they were produced to "plug " the artists back catalogue when Motown were reduced to pushing out the 'bargain bin' stuff in US record stores. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Mr Wylie is still around in Detroit although sadly not in the best of health. Hopefully some can update us on his wellbeing as there are regular visitors through there from UK and US. Tony Hestor is a quandry to me. Maybe someone on here knows where he is, if he's still around? Rob M? Dave T? Mike Terry - Huge contribution to rare soul, not just Detroit but much more far reaching. He features in The Pied Piper Story created by Eddie Hubbard in the next Issue of There's That Beat! (Out on Tuesday!) We're also hoping to feature his personal story in Issue #4. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

And I got one last year for less than $20.00. Minter too. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat .com www.hitsvillesoulclub .com

Linda Jones - Just Can't Live My Life Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Mikey, I always thought "You Better Believe It" was actually a 'patriotic' song not an anti-war song. Hence the initial intro taken from "The Halls Of Montezuma" the US Marine Corps Anthem. Great group The Charades. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub .com
