Finally after being shot down in flames about Flowers being a group I managed to find that Flowers was just a short for Richard, nuff said my work here is done Catalog of Copyright Entries: Third series - Library of Congress. Copyright Office - Google Books.pdf

This is my favourite version although a little confused According to Sharon Davis's book it's Barry White and Earl Nelson duetting https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Z2IBSoKMsgQC&pg=RA1-PT116&lpg=RA1-PT116&dq=Earl+Nelson+jackie+lee+smoke&source=bl&ots=w7JgqBpwvz&sig=ACfU3U2fCsRZtpWrUXdXwdHaK4zmwxz9NQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiEzK789L3qAhUXRBUIHc45CJ8Q6AEwDnoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=Earl Nelson jackie lee smoke&f=false According to this site it's Earl and Tracy Andrews http://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/jlee.htm Books and websites eh

It does seem rather silly all these years on, whoever gave it the "tag" clearly did not think that the world would keep going. If I had a 50 year old anything calling it modern would make me look at little foolish.

It was bound to happen the more the scene was pushed the more expensive the rare became and the investors moved in, mostly slotters who rack them as an investment for the future, it's now as the CD said "For Millionaires Only" perhaps we will have to blame Kev for it 1996 onwards

This from The Blackpool Gazette 4th July Councillors had been warned the council-owned venue (Winter Gradens) may have to cancel all its dance festivals this year, but currently this only refers to international events due to travel restrictions.

Love the mention of The Defenders (out of the Big Don's Rebelion stable, Don Bennett) Brilliant Chalky

If that's the case I stand corrected as I was told ages ago that 1st Bootlegs have and "ARCHER" Stamped Matrix, 2nd Bootlegs have a similar "Archer" Stamped Matrix and 3rd Bootlegs have NO Stamp at all

There were boots with no stamp (3 in all I believe)

Was this a Soussan one, with the Selectadisc connection ?

Blackpool is a sad place this week after such a loss, he was such a nice man and a Top Top DJ RIP Sir

Well done for asking her and getting confirmation Perhaps you would be kind enough to ask her so we can finally know, after all this years, who was backing vocals on her "Laurel Canyon" LP besides Barry White and Don MaCallister, as the lady credited on her LP is a Brendetta Davis and you may know that this was/is believed to be a pseudonym of a famous Brenda we all know

Thanks for that, you have now taken me on a journey and lets see where it leads ? I started searching for Clay Roberts and came up with this (he appeared to have an alias which may be connected as Lillian Claiborne is connect to the second link as is a certain Clayton Roberts) https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=PzghAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA487&lpg=PA487&dq=Clay+Roberts+music&source=bl&ots=hk4gg49hBW&sig=ACfU3U0PyOoQ_v09wm7inhECzBQQthmX0A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj79dOr2KTqAhXcSxUIHVOtCGoQ6AEwB3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Clay Roberts music&f=false http://doo-wop.blogg.org/ontarios-c31180886
