  1. A few more- Eddie Holland- "Jamie" Arthur Alexander- "Anna" Hollywood Flames- "Elizabeth" Mable John - "Able Mable" Lou Courtney - "Hey Joyce"
  2. Servicemen- "Connie", Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers- "Malinda" , Drifters - "Aretha", Wilson Pickett- "Deborah" and another Stevie Wonder - "Angie Girl".
  3. I'm not an expert on Motown foreign releases but this looks like an "unofficial release". According to the Don't Forget The Motor City" website, the song was cut on June 08,1966 so I don't know where the "13/2/66" date comes in. It looks nice but I suspect someone pressed up these copies.
  4. Just wanted to make a minor correction to an earlier post . Tammi Terrell was signed to Motown in 1965, the company released her first single in November of that year (#27 on the list) -
  5. Here's a list from Record World of showing current singles in alphabetical order with "How Can I..." on Caneil -
  6. Not sure why Caneil isn't considered a "real label". I don't think any U.S. Pop Music stations would have been playing bootlegs in the 60's . The single is at #63-
  7. Not sure if this is a remix/ remake but the original version is -
  8. I agree with you that Boston took it's time adding "This Can't Be True", but I think you should cut Baltimore some slack. Not sure where you got the Baltimore list in your 1st post ( from some Pop station in the city?) but one of Baltimore's biggest Soul stations was playing "This ..." much earlier. And since it was Top 5 on the chart, they were probably playing a month or so before that-
  9. According to the liner notes of the "Boy Meets Girl" album, recording sessions took place at the following studios- Fame Studios- Muscle Shoals, United Sound- Detroit, Terra Shirma- Detroit, Ardent Studios- Memphis. A majority of the tracks (according to the liner notes) were produced by Al Bell, Isaac Hayes or Booker T. Jones. Don Davis was listed as one of the producers on these songs- "Hold On This Time" - William Bell and Mavis Staples, "It's Unbelievable..." - Pervis Staples and Carla Thomas, "Strung Out" - William Bell and Mavis Staples. These are the ones I think are the most likely to have used Terra Shirma or United Sound. But any of the producers listed could have had their sessions in Detroit.
  10. Another "Lost And Found" track - k -
  11. According to Carl Davis' book , "The Man Behind The Music", Carl worked well with Dave Kapralik .Columbia placed OKeh under the supervision of Len Levy and the two of them just couldn't work together.
  12. I would pick "I Want A Love I Can See" or "Forever in My Heart".
  13. The dream team actually got its start a bit earlier (August or July?) with the release of "Whispers" -
  14. One of Sonny's earliest releases on Brunswick was this LaVern Baker 45- If you look at the credits, there are names that are more closely associated with Golden World than Chicago-
  15. Teddy joined Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes as a drummer sometime the late 60's (?) or early 70's. He took over lead vocals on "I Miss You" and did just about all the leads on their biggest hits on Philly Int'l.
  16. You can go back even further to "There Goes My Baby" from 1959. Rudy Lewis was the lead singer on "Some Kind..."
  17. "Agent..." also took off big in Cleveland hitting their Top 20 even earlier -
  18. Billy Larkin and the Delegates also covered the song which appeared on his "Hole In The Wall" album and as a Little LP-
  19. From Record World (July 27,1968) -
  20. Joe Matthews came out in late 1965/ early '66 , the Tempos is from 1968 or 1969.
  21. I'm guessing that "Paris Blues" was originally recorded for Polydor International. The Polydor ad (Cashbox - July 2, 1966) states that Claus recorded his 1st singles for Polydor in the U.S. In the 2nd article, (Cashbox June 11, 1966) it appears that Helios Music ( which published "Paris Blues) was looking to lease their masters to "a host of key labels". So once again, I'm guessing Polydor had international rights to Claus Ogerman productions and they were free to lease them to any company in the U.S.
