  1. Given the fact Frank said she was session singer I think we can stop throwing names of well known singers in the hat, I’m sure Frank would have remembered recording someone well known
  2. yes I know, that's who discogs has our Eddie linked to
  3. The picture Simon posted....
  4. Cashmeres on Mercury were a mid 50s vocal group so by the 60s would have been at least nearer 30. Eddie Jefferson if its the Eddie Jefferson linked on discogs and yes before anyone pipes up I know discogs is user entered and often wrong) was born in 1918 so he would have been knocking on a bit come the mid 60s. I don't think it is him and discogs IS wrong. I have read Eddie is the same one. who recorded for Stax and Goldwax.
  5. There was half a dozen groups either called the Cashmeres or had cashmeres in the group name. The one we are concerned with (Hubba Hubba, HEM and Ninandy artists) had Eddie Jefferson (Jeff on the acetate), Robert Rennie and as also stated on the label Brown and Busby. Robb K on Soulful Detroit said "Eddie Gibbs and Don Edwards were also members of the group (I believe, before Eddie Jefferson joined?" That would make 6 members at various points in the brief history of the group, not saying at the same time though. What is the source of the photo?
  6. Used to follow his posts few years ago, put some great photos up.
  7. I had an automated reply so hopefully they will get back to me, think it is a "page" as well rather than personal so she should see it. Know what you mean had loads never responded to.
  8. I dunno but I guess whoever is behind the shorter video is blocking it for some reason? I think it was for a TV show as there is Temptations footage from around that time too if I remember rightly?
  9. I've sent Shelly a message, see if she gets back to me.
  10. he did redo it but took all the studio footage out, just some video of the supremes on stage now.
  11. Try The video on YouTube is blocked but here it is, tried to add to videos but they are url links
  12. The In-Souls is also excellent
  13. Cheers Mark, once I get my act together I'll come calling
  14. Dean Anderson's lockdown blues remedy, My Life In 10. Mark Wilson & Tim Ashibende give us very insightful views into their life with 10 great musical choices each.
  15. In my head I am writing but working 60-70 hours every week and demands from elsewhere it is finding the time. I'm plodding on researching, archiving etc.
  16. according to Frank, Connie was a session singer he found
  17. You can read many books on the early mod and soul scene and there is a lot of displeasure from the mods in the direction those who were turning to Northerm were taking the clubs. In the end they both went their own way with clubs eventually becoming all northern soul with little if any of the mod way of life prevailing.
  18. Mine is still in transit from Chicago somewhere, posted 6th April.
  19. If you read some of the history of the early scene the “Mods” did not like the direction the soul boys were taking the scene. How I read it was yes they had a part to play in its formative years but there was definitely a split late 60s with those who were firmly rooted in the rare 60s/northern going one way and the Mods who were R&B, both British and American & pop going another. There is many a quote from Mods which you could take and attribute to the protagonists in other splits down the years, Wigan & Mecca, soul & funk, oldies & newies, rare & retro today etc. like I say that is how I read it.
  20. Think it's the Pointdexter Brothers who are heavily involved?
  21. The Icemen on Vest is a red label, trying to find a scan which I know I used to have.
  22. Flo Mar is Florence and either Scepter Wand vice-president Marvin Schlacter or her daughter I believe.
  23. The Icemen had a release on Vest as well, Le's Play That Song/ You Got A Style Of Your Own - Vest No Vest. Very rare.
  24. who was behind the Vest release?
  25. The Tra-San Production on the Icemen is George Kerr and named after his daughters apparently. As you say some heavyweights involved in the writing & production.
