hi - I have pm'd you

I don't know whether all the vocals are him - it sounds like a group of singers rather than just him multi tracked - i just remember reading it was him doing the lead - It is an "orange" production which was the label he was on as a solo artist Yes it is the same John Miles mentioned in the WIKI link - he released a couple of 'soul' singles before he started doing rock stuff - check out on you tube "one minute every hour' and "yesterday" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5mPovfYgV0

The Realistics on Warner Bros weren't a group at all - It was John Miles doing the vocals there was another thread about them a while back

I did wonder if Betty Cooper who is listed as a member of the group might in fact be Christine Cooper - I have had the album for 35 years and always loved "LIGB" - didn't know about the Groove's version till I got the Kent LP in the 80s

there is a female version of "Love (is getting better) and the flip side "light of love" by The Terri Nelson Group on Kama Sutra LP using the same backing tracks - also on LP there is a version of Christine Cooper's 'SOS (heart in distress)" using the same backing

It is Pattie Brooks on "These Heartaches" (somewhat speeded up tho) - She is the singer on loads of Simon Sousan's legal and illegal stuff including "Shirley Matthews", "Del Satins" "Tartans" "Charades" "The Rubys" etc.....plus official stuff by The Sharonettes. Arpeggio, Romance, etc She was an established LA backing singer working under the name Adrienne Williams and is credited on lots of 70s west coast produced disco stuff. I think the "Del Satins" vocal to "strings a go go" (double cookin') says features "Adrienne Williams" too.

The Val Palmer track was on an album called "Tamla hits" on UK Redifusion - I used to have it But Ian Levine used to play it at the Mecca and I am sure it was a US 45 he was playing - even though it was a UK album they were all US recordings Val Palmer is listed in JM's book as a US 45

Who wrote and produced the epic 45s? - If its Ken Gold then he is the connection - He wrote "putting it down" - also he wrote and produced Delegation
