Great interview- Thanks for posting this ! !

If anyone is still looking for a copy of the Ernest Ernie re-press, it looks like Dusty Grooves has some in stock.

According to a 2008 article in the Washington Post, ("48 Years Later, A Singer Finally In Demand") Lorraine Rudolph and Lorri Rudolph are the same person .

Not sure which came 1st but, the Dot 45 only has one writer but lists the artist as Joe Simon and Eugene Blacknell's Band.

It will be until the extremely limited third press comes out with its extremely limited edition special birth sleeve.

There is also some kind of connection with Nicolet Music and the Penny and Nickel labels which were owned by Chicago dj Richard Pegue -

"Every where I go, I tell ya, people stop and stare, They point me out and say look at that poor fool there" "It Rained Forty Days And Nights"

So many lines to choose from in this ! -

As you've probably figured out from the Soulful Detroit forum, Calvin Williams = Lloyd Williams. After his solo career, he was a member of the Undisputed Truth during their Whitfield Records stint. That's him in the middle with his arms stretched out -

Just ordered the 45 from Dusty Grooves- they took the order and then I got an e-mail an hour later saying the 45 was out of stock ??

You're right - I stand corrected.

Release # goes to a 45. The 12" has a different # -

His "Impossible" is on Velvet Hammer's album -

You're both talking about the same thing! Both of you agree it was recorded in January of 1967( and published by Motown in February, 1967). You both agree it was released in 2003, the 2006 is part of the release # - 981 200 6 .

The book "Tamla Motown" gives a slightly different explanation. TMG 860 was originally scheduled to be "Reachin" For Something I Can't Have" / "I Need Someone" from TMG #639. The pressing plant used the flip side from #639 "My Baby Must Be A Magician" instead. Supposedly Tamla/ Motown destroyed all copies except for a few. In the end , #860 was released as "Reaching For..."/ "Here I Am Baby".

I believe he is referring to Jesse and the James Boys not Jesse Thomas. If you look in the 1st post, the Gold label International Hits calls the group the Heatwaves. But on the orange label, the group is known as the Jesse and the James Boys which is the same name on the Buddah 45.

It's most likely this Jesse James -

Just out of curiosity, what other song besides "My Angel Baby" was published by Jobete?

The label on the right was first used by Ember sometime in the late 50's (around #1041) up until #1086. So both are most likely legit releases just done at different pressing plants. The black label was used (mostly) from #1062 - 1111.

The same info is in Keith Rylatt's "Groovesville U.S.A. Going back to Rick, Robin and Him- The studio logs list the group as "Rick and Robin" with no mention of "Him".

It looks like "Move On Up" made the British charts twice ! Here's Billboard's Hits Of The World from September 04, 1971- "Move On Up" is at #12 -
