Soul Shrews

Bessie Banks "Don"t You Worry Baby" Cheers Paul

Yes Locarno was great I remember one time with Pat Brady gusting with his upfront tunes. The Modern room was short lived but very good, even if it felt like you were visiting a lighthouse to get there. Cheers Paul

Queen Latifah under her Dana Owens name. Cheers Paul Dang that Shinehead beat me to it !

Yes Kev you"re right there . Good call. They also backed Jerry Butler & Betty Everett on "Just Be True" a few months later. Thanks to "Soul Harmony Singles" for info. Cheers Paul

Inferno was legit. Run By Neil Rushton. Cheers Paul

The Furys "I"m Satisfied" instrumental with The Performers "Set Me Free" on the flip of a light/sky blue Mirwood One of Mosieur Simons ? Cheers Paul

Could be, to be honest I don"t recognise any vocals. Also I have no idea where the letter writer got his info, but from the rest of the letter he was pushing other less well known Bay Area artists. May also have been the "other" Dramatics on Mainstream ? Cheers Paul

A great docu Steve W good call. I think its on YT ? Patti Austin, Edna Wright. Merry Clayton and more. Cheers Paul

He always had time for every soul fan weather they were experts with years of experience or just starting out. A lovely man. Regards Paul

Yes and as Eugene R was Barbaras squeeze not surprising. Cheers Paul

The reason I started this thread was after reading this letter in a Black Music magazine from 1975. It was written by a soul fan from San Francisco and I have no idea how he obtained this info Anyone heard of this or can confirm ? Cheers Paul

I know The Dells backed some Barbara Lewis Atlantic 45s. Also The Parliaments sang back up for Tamala Lewis "You Won"t Say Nothing." I also remember Dean Courtney telling Richard Searling on his JazzFM show that Valerie Simpson, Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston were on "Back Up " duty for "Love You Just Can"t Walk Away" Just interested of any more. Cheers Paul

I think that just for the amount of sound s he discovered that he probably was good for the scene. Cheers Paul
