Shinehead

According an article I have just read the femme backup on the Carnival stuff by TheManhattans was provided by The Lovettes.

Way the quote from one of the Debonaires reads to me is that the backing vocals were recorded in the sixties and used later in the seventies, improbable at best.

According to the album which the single was took off the femme back up was Linda Creed, And The Sigma Sweethearts - Barbara Ingram,Carla Benson and Yvette Benson. The sweethearts also provided femme vocals on Kiss And Say Goodbye recorded at Sigma by the Manhattans.

It is on the pop side but hardly disco but sometimes I like to listen to records that just flow along and brighten the day especially on a summers day.

Love this track off the above CD, also done by Major Lance. Got a seventies Miami groove to it.

Thank you munchin for the pics and info much appreciated.

Hopefully you drop the idea she could have been an exotic dancer. I found it a bit disrespectful.

I get that we know who Kitty from Sam & Kitty is I just cannot fathom out why you took a picture of a exotic dancer from a Rotations concert poster and linked her to Kitty Groves the singer other than sharing a first name. Think your imagination ran away with you on this one. I

The lady on the left is the dancer but have you any idea who the lady on the right is ? and if not why are you linking the pictures to a singer from Chicago.

Scruboard , Hold Back The Night.

I remember a quire in depth article in the mag "In The Basement" on the 4 Brothers and Bright Star labels maybe that might shed a bit more info on Kitty, sadly I binned all my copies a few years ago but someone might have a copy to peruse and check if anything else is in print about this lady.

Cigarette Ashes, That Beatin Rhythm, There's That Mountain.

The publisher of the Singing Sam song on Dan-dy featuring Miss Kitty Grove is Fairshake, judging by the picture of "Exotic Miss Kitty" that could be a link 😂

Exactly and how could the two Kitty's be even thought to be the same person 😂

Do not get the link between Exotic Miss Kitty and Miss Kitty Grove other than both been called Kitty 😂 tenuous at best.

Looking at the picture and the caption says " Exotic Miss Kitty" I get the impression I Got Something Good was not this lady's song but she could have used it as a number in her act 😂

I,m still coming to terms with modern soul which by definition owt after the mid 70s.

Thought the 80/90s was bad for soul music with all the drum machines synths etc, some great songs still been written but the production with the dirth of real musicians on most of records (thankfully some small independent labels still making records of the real deal) overwhelming and devoid of soul barring the vocalists. So imagine listening to a album of Al stuff, even the vocalists will be synthetic.

What is the point cloning someones voice , all it is is a imitation. And that example think al needs to write some lyrics not nursery rhymes and for some reason the melody reminds me of Mickeys Monkey. All this technical sh*t is going to bite us on the ass someday.

Seems to me because Amy is a nurse specialising in the subject and also a Northern Soul fan,she is trying to join the dots between the two when there isn't one , as other people have stated most activities with fanatics could also attract people of the spectrum but it does not mean that is the reason for the attraction, just that like everyone else there was an initial starting place that led us in to the activity with the spectrum or without, Northern Soul usually the youth club,friends or older siblings with a love of the music

If you go down rabbit holes you could meet a ferret 😂

What next medics walking round venues with clipboards observing the punters at play 😂

Bunkum.

Enough documentation for me to come to the conclusion that Chris Jackson is not Van Mccoy or Chris Bartley, as for the statement one of the Tymes did not know who Jackson was why would he ? he only wrote their hit.

A few memories here.
