BJ Douglas captured hearts at a tender age of seven, and led her family to victory during a Lloyd Price Talent Show at the famed Royal Theatre on Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. While in her early teens, her Dream Girl experience began when BJ, Norma, Barbara and Heysette formed a singing group called Les Chansonettes to participate in their high school talent show. After winning prizes in this and many other talent competitions, Norma, BJ, Heysette, and Angela recorded a national hit entitled Don't Let Him Hurt You and Deeper with Shrine Recording Company in Washington, DC. She later recorded I Almost Left You with Fran and Marilyn from Washington, D.C.

That's amazing, great work, nice to find out a little more about her

The BMI says Virginia Grady is Virginia Jewel Grady 20th March 1967 Common sense says this was his real name, do we know anything about this artist ?

Wow that would be great all we need to find out is a bio.......if we can

That's 2 people who think it may be

This lady has a major songwriting influence for Motown and others including Dusty Springfield There seems to be little information on her career anywhere Has any one got a photo of her and a bio please Her sister Liz is well now on the Soul Scene for this and she wrote for Marvin Gaye, Isley's Etc.

As a young man I wiggled my ass to this tune and wonder now 40 years on why he wasn't documented, but that happens so much I guess I am just on a mission to credit Timmie Williams with what he deserves and hope someone somewhere knows

Label was owned by Gil Calbot in Tampa, Florida, he moved it later to Hollywood

Thanks Robb, I thought might have been Detroit, as it is 1965 and so Timmie could perhaps be identified, but I stand corrected

So many times played and I have never bothered to find out who he was / Is I do know the production was Harry Balk and it certainly sounds like it was recorded in Detroit Would love to know after 43 years

Thanks Do we know anything about this label

I have just picked this up and it looks like a bootleg There are 3 more records listed on 45cat on the label but no info as to their history Advice please

I spoke to Ray Dahrouge a few years back and all his copies had gone He was gutted that he let them all go and I had a spare bootleg and he said he would like it as a keepsake so I posted it to him.

Does anyone have any info on TJ and/or the band ? Played lots but can find no info.

After doing some hunting on the web, I thought I would share this info I found about this tune that had been bugging me for years Scotty Todd was the lead singer for Scotty Todd and The Toddsmen from Benson, North Carolina USA After leaving the music business he became as pastor of Engle Wood Assembly of God in Rocky Mount NC, until resigning in 1989 A few years later he started Benson First Assembly of God in Benson NC. He passed while preaching a sermon in 2003.

I know it's been ages 10 years and I am new to soul source but, I reckon it might just be this Gentleman and he came out on one of the Kent CD's https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesunion/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=158626213 https://acerecords.co.uk/j-s-harlem-soul

It's a long time since one came up for sale Last one I saw that sold was VG+ was £550 There was one listed recently on here for a "bag of sand"

I have been searching the web to try and find out who this gentleman may have been He recorded a few singles One on Palmer, 3 on Hi-Lite and one on REM Records to my knowledge I found this on the web which may or may not be him https://deathnotices.michigan.com/view-single.php?id=76561&token= Some of his tunes were probably not the greatest records to exist, but he should perhaps be known about

I always ask the questions ....Test Played? or please send me a sound file

Cheers for that I know it's a little of tangent, but didn't know if you knew about the lawsuit Harry's publishing company has been involved in. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/may/30/rodriguez-accused-misrepresentation-searching-for-sugar-man

Rick, it's getting cold here and I feel a chill in my bones

Is this link correct about the label https://www.globaldogproductions.info/b/bonnie.html

Didn't Duke convert to Islam and that resulted in a distance from music, due to faith....was I dreaming or did I read that somewhere in my long last past

I was hunting around about the label and found this ? https://www.globaldogproductions.info/b/bonnie.html

Ooh can't wait....that will be in my collection.....you won't sign it though and make it worth less, will you
