The Yank

I bet you're thinking of "Can't Satisfy" which is basically The Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart Of Mine" slowed down-

There's not much info on Tom Rouse on the net- in 1973 he did work for the Building Community Arts Recording Corp. where he was in charge of the BCA, Rouser and Top Soul labels. ( from the 1973 Billboard Record Manufacturers section) -

Everytime I hear Willie Tee's "Teasin' You", I think of the Impressions' " It's All Right".

I have a feeling Curtis never heard of either 45. Triad was based in El Cerrito, California and besides KSOL (San Francisco) playing "The Soul P.W.', I can't find it getting airplay anywhere and it didn't get reviewed in any of the trade papers. The Jessie James 45 was a flop- no mention in the trades and no signs of airplay. On the other hand, it's possible he knew of both and had them pulled off the market.

To me, it sounds like the same take but sped up and with an edit near the end of the song. Judge for yourself-

The Quaker Town label was owned by Philly deejay Leon "Cannonball" Fisher.

The Quaker Town label was based in Philly- I doubt if there is any connection to Rouser.

"Because Of My Heart" was recorded in November, 1966 so- it might have been released late '66 but I believe 1967 is more likely.

Yes- there are some for sale on Discogs-

It's one of those weird coincidences- it's a completely different song-

I've read Mavis fell in love with the song after hearing Phillip Mitchell's demo. Is this his demo version of the song or something he made later? There's no info on you tube with the video.

I don't think there is any connection. This is the same Robert Lee though -

As far as I know , the Benny Sigler is promo only. I have never seen a stock copy of it. With the Rhonda Washington, I've seen Sure-Shot 5026 listed on few web sites as "What About Love"/ "Swing Town U.S.A." but neither shows pics of the 45. Also, I can't find any mention in it in any of the trades (Billboard, Cashbox, Record World). And finally , I can't find the 45 getting airplay on any radio station. I'm about 95% sure about the 2 45's. If anyone has pics of either- please post !

For the most part- Yes. The Deram group contained Ernestine and Shirley from the original group and added Viola Billups (aka Pearly Gates).

And this - 7) NC - Bunky

Yes- it is a British production. From Billboard August 3,1968. "Nothing But A Heartache" came out later that year

Yes- Syl's brother Jimmy passed away January 31, 2022.

There was also an earlier release of "Are You Angry" on Chattahoochie-

There was a topic on this website about an acetate from 2012. It's described as an alternate vocal to "Just Like The Weather" but never mentions the title of the song. It also said the acetate was sold on e-bay but I can't find any info on it.

The label on the 45 says Scepter.

Record World gave "Strange Neighborhood" a 4 star rating in their Dec. 2, 1967 issue. They obviously liked the song's beat . Billboard gave it a favorable rating in the Special Merit Spotlight selection (Dec. 9, 1967) and Cashbox labeled it a best bet in the Dec.2, 1967 issue.

There's also Tommy Hunt's version-

From the January 9, 1971 issue of Billboard- Does anyone know anything about the Sue Records reference ?

Jackey Beavers co-wrote this song which the Supremes took to the #1 spot on the U.S. Pop and Soul charts -
