I've played it on the radio but not out.

Brilliant, underrated crossover, IMO.

Thanks, Marc. I appreciate the kind words. Check your email!

I think Howard Collins is the name that links all the Chanson records and the International Five....Who's he?

yeah, i love that international five record. don't remember names on it, but fairly certain about the gm stamp. and yeah, at least SOME chanson releases are definitely new jersey, but then there's the charlie chuck record, which i think is midwestern. it's all a mystery to me....

can't help you with that, but yeah, i remember seeing kennedy's name on gemini and aquarius and figured they're both from detroit and both astrological...and the high voice on the soul in-pressions sounds to me like the el counts' lead singer.... how about the domestic five? the name sounds like either the inspiration for or a sly response to the international five, who have that record on starway (a detroit label?? it has a gm stamp in the runout groove but also seems to have something to do with the chanson label)....anyone know anything about either group??

i think all the ultimate 1999 records i know have been mentioned! and the only aquarius records i know are the ones mentioned by galaxy...didn't know about the label variation on the calvin golden (mine's solid red). surely the detroit gemini label (el count executives) has some relation to aquarius, though, right?

Have you heard their new record, out last year?

Mossy: My uncle co-owned Tuba Records and Music Merchants distributors.

Funny you think it sounds like Junior Walker....Walker's from Battle Creek and Poole's from Jackson...both are small Michigan cities that lie on I-94 between Chicago and Detroit. Poole is a sax player who had a couple singles on Cascade Sound as well: "Hi Heel Sneakers" and "I Can Dig It"/"That's All Right."

My uncle was in on the Romey Rand session and may have co-written one or both of the sides, though he's not credited. He does own the publishing on both sides, though. He has given me a couple of tape reels of her performing the song in what sounds like a nightclub, with piano accompaniment. Haven't listened to them carefully yet. Allegedly Hanks locked her in the basement till she did a usable take...for like a whole weekend or something.

Wow, I'll admit it's not the most soulful record in the world, and I usually dislike the northern pop stuff that you guys seem to be lumping this with...but I think it's brilliant, with an almost unbelievably catchy, genius hook.

The 2004 and 2005 ebay auctions were both of individual copies that had separately and coincidentally walked into the same detroit record shop within a few months of each other. Up till that point, I think there were one, maybe two, copies known of in the collectors' world.

yeah, it has proved to be elusive for me too. i am kicking myself for forgetting to bid on the recent ebay copy. but now i've got one sorted. thanks, everybody.

Just missed one on ebay that went for $21.57. Anyone got a copy of this cheapie for sale? Thanks, M

More added; I'll add still more tomorrow.

by double o's i'm assuming you mean the double o demingos? which one? color one tear black?
