The Yank

Classic Detroit -

1001 pounds.

I just tried it and everything worked fine. After you type in the title of what you're selling, it should take you to another page. After you put in a pic, it asks for item specifics which you can then put in R & B , Soul, Northern Soul etc.

This one ?? -

I'll take ten at that price. I just can't understand your monetary system ! 😀

An original near mint 45 just sold for $584 USD / 450p a few days ago -

Canadian 45's, U.S. sleeves -

Sad to hear about this- the Dells had hits in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's and kept recording long after that. I can still hear those 60's dj's introducing their records- "The pride and joy of Harvey, Illinois, the mighty, mighty Dells -

The 7 Dwarfs released "Stop Girl"/ "One By One" The Ambassadors put out "Too Much Of A Good Thing"/ "Whole Lotta Soul" and this 45 -

Very sad to hear about this- he had so many great 45's! Although Roy Hamilton's version is better, this comes very close ...

Came across this on you tube- Nice !! Actually not a new release- just reissued - oops !!

I've got two (U.S.) copies of "If You Can't..." and both play with no problems. Not sure why they changed the B sides.

I guess they pushed both sides of the 45 ("Tonight Is Just Another Night"/ "Unknown Love") -

Does anyone know if the Ron Bollons mentioned in the 2 pics are the same person? The distributors were based on Guilford Street which is also one of the labels mentioned-

Not 100% sure but... I've heard that the Hollywood Flames, The Tangiers (Decca), Jets (Aladdin), ? Marks (Swing Time) , Turks (Cash) and the Satellites (Class) are basically all the same group ! I think there were a few more aliases also.

According to Ollie McLaughlin's liner notes to "Detroit Gold Vol. 2", he describes the Gambrells as "a Detroit high school group" that he signed after they did the back up vocals to Deon Jackson's "Love Makes The World Go Round" in one take. No photos or group member names were in the notes.

Hope this video helps- the group ( TNJs) is clearly identified -

If you read the comments from the person who posted the video, it says it includes photos of the first group and the last group before they disbanded.

According to Dave Moore's book "The Philly Sound", the TNJs were - Al Stroman, Joe Anderson, Barry Higginbotham, James Gost and Elijah Jones.

Also released on Record Shack in 2016 with "You Cant Take It" on the flip side -

I think this is a different Plato (?)

Ad for her first single (as Linda Lane) -

I appears that the writer and producer were based out of Maryland -
