La Cade and Dakar/Brunswick/BRC Recording studio addresses were only 10 blocks apart on South Michigan Ave Chicago...

A delicious record, it was recorded at Brunswick Records here in ... Tfk The other release by Walter "Butterball " Davis on his own label/logo looks very similar in colour and design to the early Dakar label releases ?

Hi Dave - great call and photo there for sure ... 1974ish on The La Cade label Not sure we're the Dakar release came in yet ? A wee bit of spiel on The La Cade release/label/hair care products, a great example and tale of how independent some of the independent record labels actually were - now did Dakar Records put this out due to its local demand/radio station plays or were they looking at getting into the hair care product business ? La Cade Products was another of many Chicago-based black hair care firms (that I detail here) during the late 60s through the 1970s. Though not as well-known as Supreme Products (who created Duke and Raveen) or Johnson Products (who created Soft Sheen, Afro Sheen, and Ultra Sheen), La Cade left behind scant but fascinating evidence of its existence. First off, it left some pretty great advertisements starting around 1972 (my favorite is above, from a 1974 issue of Ebony Magazine). How’s that for swagger? There’s a sort of street romantic and cinematic appeal to the image used. They also came up with some clever product names: one of which got them in legal trouble… but we’ll dig into that later in this post. Most notably, to me (and probably, many Darkjive readers, as well) is that sometime around 1974 La Cade decided to put together a small recording division, based at their Corporate Headquarters (2411 South Michigan in Chicago). They recorded no less than two artists on two singles: both of which are as gritty and charismatic as the ad above. The first is “Beginning of the Void” backed by “Love Me Too” by Danny Hunt (who sounds to me very much like a young Stevie Wonder on his records). I actually love this record. Very soulful, with a stone cold groove, the lyrics are remarkably socially aware and include: Just another ghetto child never see his Daddy smile He’s in the beginning of his void The following year, Hunt released a beast of a cut arranged by the iconic Tom Tom Washington and released on Dynamite Records (another tiny Chicago-based imprint). Last time I checked, Danny Hunt was alive and well in the Chicago-area singing Gospel music. The other record I have found is by Walter “Butterball” Davis, titled “Baby (Wacha Doin to me)” backed by “Girl Stop Begging”. He had also put out a record called “Nobody Cares for a Junkie” on Butterball Records… it’s deep. Really deep. But, Back to “Girl Stop Begging”: the cut is a bluesy-funky little gem penned by Davis himself. Regards TFK
