No - the man Arthur is referring to (at 7:14) is Joe Casey. -
I didn't ask him (should have) but I don't think so - instict tells me he wasn't as I reckon he'd have said something.

Did you see this one with Arthur Ashford?... uploaded a couple of weeks ago:
-
This one went on YouTube yesterday...
-
17 Nov 2023 Arthur was with the group on all their recordings for D-Town and Drew during the Sixties. Compared to The Temptations, they had a lot to live up to, but they managed it with aplomb. Also included is a clip from an interview with George McGregor, who was involved with some of the Drew recordings.
-
Just listened again to that part of the interview and Steve mentions 'I Lost You' right after I refer to 'Easy Living' (13:27). If he hadn't recorded it, he would surely have said something.
-
In all probability I lost You was done at Golden World in c.1966 when Steve was recording for Grovesville and it went unreleased - Don Davis then just stuck it on the flip of that later Groove City 45.

I've just uploaded this one...

Go to about 13 minutes in where Steve talks about this 45...

I've just uploaded another interview...

Many thanks... I do have this and it must be briefly in the video somewhere. I'm surprised there were very few ads about the group and their releases in the black-focused Detroit newspaper, The Michigan Chronicle. The only one I saw was for their appearance at The Parizian in '64 when I Love You So was out. There was a brief mention of them doing a gig at a place called Shay Lake, which is north of Detroit, but no ads for the usual clubs like Phelps and The Chit Chat, where they did perform. I also noticed that a local radio chart had Pickett's 6345789 at number 1, but Call Me wasn't in the top 50.

I have found the info' in my notes about Temptation of Love - local DJ Ernie Durham had it as a selection in the newspaper on December 28th, 1963 - this could be first of the Lanrod 45s.
-
In my files, I have a release date on the Carrie 45 for December 1963 - just can't recall where I got that info' from.
-
A year is surprisingly long, but maybe the Carrie 45 wasn't released in April '63 - it was just registered then. Thank for the details. The Carrie 45 must be rare.
-
Thanks for these details. This is the 45 I used to have. I wonder why it was released again on Lanrod with a different title - maybe the Temptation of Love one came first?
-
Here's what Ed had to say.... The song was released twice on Lanrod, with diffrent titles as the label scans in this thread show. Edward I Love You So.mp3
-
Has anyone got a Carrie issue of (Temptation of Love) I Love you So? It's Carrie 1605. I'd really like a decent scan to include in a YouTube video I'm putting together.
-
That confirms it... Thanks 👍.
-
Yank - you must be good at crosswords.
-
Thanks - I had doubts about it being a hit over in the States. I wonder who Edward was thinking of?... I didn't consider Chris Montez, but the date of his version is about right.
-
I'm sure that I read somewhere that Edward had passed away - back in 2020. I think the basic problem is I transferred it to MP4 at too high a volume as there's distortion in parts that's really annoying... I plan to do it again.
-
Thanks, Robb I'm sure he has the name wrong, but imagine the gender and race are right, so it could be Petula Clark. I think Picket's song started climbing the charts in January 1966 and Petula Clark's song was released in the UK in Nov '65 - was it released over in the US?
-
I don't recall hearing a record by Chris Clark called Call Me. Have I missed it? Please take a listen to Edward Hamilton... Edward Hamilton Call me.mp3
