Worst Record I've Ever Heard
This is what happens when you tell everyone you can't sing and a record company signs you anyway. Burt Ward was better known as Robin on the 60's "Batman" show -

Worst Record I've Ever Heard
Not sure if its the worst but would definitely be in the Top 10 - it sounds like 2 or 3 records playing at once. And if you like this, they did release an album -

James Phelps - Love Is A Five Letter Word.
The Chess brothers 3rd label (after Chess and Checker) did have a lot of problems with its name. It started out as Marterry and was changed to Argo after band leader Ralph Marterrie objected to the name. The Argo name lasted about 9 years before finally going to Cadet.

Connie Clark My Sugar Baby

Frank Wilson's version was recorded in L.A. . Since both Frank and Connie's version share the same backing track, it's safe to say Connie's version was done there also.

One-derful! album ?
Recently came across this ad from the company, nothing very exciting until the part about OLP #6600 which appears to be a compilation album. I've never seen it, can't find anything about it, so I'm guessing for some reason it got pulled from release. Does anyone have any info on it ?

Best and worst 'tailor-mades'?
Question- Would this qualify as a "tailor made" or is it just a song that sounds like it was made a lot earlier? If it is a "tailor made" it would be in my Top 5.

Betty Wright RIP
Really sad to hear this especially right after Little Richard's passing. Just saw her on an episode of "Unsung" about a month ago which I think is currently on you tube. R.I.P. Betty !!
