The Yank

Frankie and the group hit the Top 20 on one of Philly's Pop stations (#16) -

There is some info on discogs about the Steve Long single where it's listed as a Canadian (??) 45.

R.I.P. Edward ! Thanks for all the music !

Joel Selvin's book "Here Comes The Night" mentions the song. Hoagy's version was cut in New York City in January, 1967 and was scheduled for release on the Bang label but was never issued. Here's another song which bears a strong resemblance to "32 Miles..." and "Mojo Mamma" -

Here's another one -

Sad to hear this- R.I.P. David ! One of my favorites from the group -

The song isn't on that album though .......

As far as I know it's only available on this 2 CD set Hip-O Select put out in 2007 -

You are correct- the 45 was released in Nov. '67 and got a positive review in Cashbox -

According to a well known price guide (6th edition), there are styrene originals with the delta #68876 which would make it pressed in November, 1967.

According to discogs, the 70's reissue was stereo and has the following matrix info - UK4M-0865-1-1-1 PR (etched)

Strangely enough, the original credits for "I Love You Madly" were Ric- Tic publishers-

I thought that had to be the same Goldsby- Thanks for the confirmation !

The Melvin Davis was getting Detroit airplay in September, 1966 and the Steve Mancha charted in Billboard in July, 1966.

Is this the same Goldsby ?

I got that picture off the internet so chances are- it probably is your copy ! 😀

He produced this one - Oops- wrong pic in last post -

Here's a pic of the the South African release -

Adam White mentioned Loucye being on stage when the Miracles got their gold record, here's a picture from that event -

According to discogs, it's an "unofficial" release -

There are Canadian releases but they're a little strange. The Bell Logo is at the top but, there's also a Mala name on the label -

The blue label does show up on the later 12,000 series which started about 1968 and lasted until the end of the label. -

A few posts ago someone mentioned things lost in translation. Can someone help me out with this description - "bongo riddle rare ...soul" ??

Coming out as a Kent single at the end of August -
