Jimmy Mack Who was he ? Found one of the writers
If not try one of his friends or perhaps he has family on there, It might be worth getting some others on to this like Robb K and Billy etc I have been digging about the label hoping to lead me down other paths and have found this out. Irving Biegel was Manager at Palmer after leaving Golden World and Motown and his assistant was Al Rosner who was also at Golden World so there is such a clear Berry Gordy connection Palmer's manufacturing was the famous Handleman company

The Furys (Keymen) writers credits US and UK differ
I agree but on the other hand there was a lot of stealing going on as regards credits too, I think in this case we may never know though

JIMMY JAMES HEY GIRL on DELTA
Please don't be confused as someone on here will hopefully know The problem with vinyl re-issues is that they have been bootlegged and re-issued legitimately as well over the decades and sadly there are so many, that people ending up not knowing, it's been going on for years and is so much more happening now with the technology more available However, people are often scared to tell the truth if they do know (I don't know why)

Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities - 7" release
There is also the matter of whether Marvin Gaye's family here it and get unhappy like they did with "blurred Lines" and another potential court case looms (although probably not enough "money" in it) The exact same re-issue thing has happened with this tune (prices are a bit less (I got mine for £7), but at least the re-issue is different https://www.discogs.com/Thee-Lakesiders-Si-Me-Faltaras-Tu/master/1490259

I would like to ask if anyone knows why the writers credits were so different on the same release here in the UK on Jay Boy Was this just a mess-up or was there another reason ?.

Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities - 7" release
There is a danger here that the next press might just not sell as much, I would steer well clear of any advice personally

Fred Mark
After some digging I noticed the name Frank Fioravanti kept appearing everywhere on the Omega, Mel-Omega and Sound Gems labels It's probs well known but thought would share in case and as I don't do facebook someone might want to contact him and get the credit for his story or write "another book" I found this thread discussing stuff

Alexis Evans I Made A Deal With Myself
Too right but if it is released as a 7" (my advice for what it's worth) take out the chat at the beginning DJ's won't want that and have to cue it in after the chat

Does your book say who Bernie Williams was (no relation to the Blue Notes?) there's nothing after digging around

Superlatives - New Jersey and Detroit Groups
There had always been discussion about this group being different to the Detroit group This is the info I have from digging around This Superlatives were an all male group from New Jersey:St. Julian (pee wee) Bonaparte (lead)David Jones (first tenor)Leon Stuckey (second tenor)Marvin (mousey) Williams (bass)Gerald Applewhite (baritone)Both the tracks, 'i still love you' and 'we're so lonely' were recorded in 1966, at Cameo Parkway in Philadelphia. The Detroiters were apparently James Edwards, Billy George Jones, James Stuberfield, Ray Took and Rip Washington. It would be nice to know and rectify as I cannot be certain and need your help (I could have missed it on another thread!!!)
