Info please. Ed Laignell, Tell me

Bobby Treetop and E Rodney Jones backing track
Bobby was a big winner on one Chicago station- hitting the Top 10. But, in St. Louis- E. Rodney Jones was the clear winner. It probably didn't help that the 2 records were released so close to each other.

Youngblood Smith did get reviewed in Cashbox and got a B+ review in the June 25,1966 issue. Also reviewed that issue were "Talk Of The Grapevine" by Donald Height and "A Lady's Man" by the Volcanos. Both received a "Best Bet" rating. Youngblood Smith was mentioned around the same time in Billboard but not reviewed.

Al Green, Hot Line, Palmer, Peoples Choice
You've completely lost me ! The Creations Zodiac single came out in "67 and the Globe singles are from 1966 and 1967. The Al Greene 45 also came out in 1967. With that said, why are you bringing up groups that had singles in 1962/ 1963 ??

No - it was scheduled for release on Blue Rock right about the same time the label was shutting down. I can't find an exact date but, you can tell by this article it's the beginning of the end for the label-

John Westley Moffett = Johnny Wesley ?
Lee Young was the owner of Melic Records. He later went to work for Vee Jay which distributed the Melic Label. The John Wesley on Vivid would make more sense on Vee Jay but for some unknown reason ended up on Vivid.

Cashbox (June 29,1968 issue) also saw the potential in "They'll Never Know Why" and rated it as a "Best Bet"-

Brothers Guiding Light - Please show yourselves
Sure- Dave Moore's "The Philly Sound" .

Brothers Guiding Light - Please show yourselves
I believe Brother's Guiding Light is the Dreamlovers with a new name. So - group members should be Don Hogan, Tommy Ricks, Cleveland Hammock and Cliff and James Dunn.

I think that's a very good possibility- David Nunez wrote one side of the Dave Newman 45 and was also lead singer on this single by The Chekkers-
