And just found this thread, shedding further light:

Just realized how similar these are and that it's the same "auteur," J. Mckinney a.k.a. Johnny Lemac.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QDdYIP9N5s

What's the Mr. Dynamite go for these days? I have a nice mint one lying around somewhere. Not eager to sell, but if the price is right I might....

Who is he? Anyone have a name?

Strange, there was a VERY similar article in another Connecticut paper, I believe, around the time she resurfaced in 2005. I was at that New Orleans show in spring 2005, just her second one after a long hiatus, and she had half the room in tears.

Shipping from the U.S. has definitely risen in price recently. It used to cost me $29.95 to mail one 45 to the UK or Europe via USPS express mail (fast, reliable service with tracking number), but last time I used it, it was suddenly $5 or $6 more....

baffling.

is the type vaguely jamaican-looking?

Okay, mine looks identical to the red one in the closed auction, so maybe my friend was mistaken. Thanks for the info.

Reason I ask is that I was playing mine out last night and someone looked at it and said "That must be a boot."

Are there genuine-looking boots of "Keep On Talking" on red Fame floating around?

"stucco"??

Anyone have a nice copy of this one? Cash waiting.

Thanks. But which version is appearing on the Soul label things?

Yeah, but both Malcolm X suggestions are reggae, which isn't what I asked for.

Can someone fill me in on the history of this one? I remember having it on an unreleased-Motown CD comp in the '90s. I'm not positiive it was credited to the Originals, though. What's happened since then? Where did this come from? https://www.popsike.com/The-ORIGINALS-Suspicion-Instrumental-RARE-1ST/130419953632.html And what about this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINALS-SUSPICION-MONSTER-MOTOWN-NORTHERN-SOUL-CLASSIC-LISTEN-/360420524527?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5700208365603301288 And does anyone really care about the distinction between a first-press boot and a second-press boot? Certainly Motown had nothing to do with either of these... Thanks.

Madam X is indeed the best suggestion...I've never heard the song, though and can find only a live clip....

Wait, Bones. You mean YOU'RE commonly regarded as a travesty or the record is? I'm confused. With Karen copy you get the bonus of the pounding B-side.

Thanks, everybody.

no, that would work!

Is the Jerry Williams a ballad? I can't seem to find a sound clip.

Wow, thanks for the great suggestions, everybody!! I've got "The Girl Rated Triple X" as a fallback for X....Need to hear the Jerry Williams. Knew I could count on y'all.

For a project I'm doing that involves songs with names in the titles (Bobby Is My Baby, Carlena, etc., etc., etc.), I'm stumped on X and Y name records. Can anyone think of a soul, R&B, blues, funk, or gospel record that has a male or female name in the title or lyrics that starts with an X (probably a lost cause) or a Y (Yvonne, Yvette, Yolanda, Yul...?) Thanks!

Where's this doo-wop forum??
