The Yank

I noticed the same thing a few weeks ago- suddenly most of the R& B/ Soul 45's were from the U.K. If you scroll further down on the page, you can pick another filter "U.S. only" if you don't want to look at all the U.K. listings.

I think you're looking at Carole through the wrong lens. She was on tv today and was commenting on this clip. In her interview, she mentioned Aretha rarely if ever played the piano in her later years, when Carole saw this she was astounded and went into complete fan girl mode!

Rest in Peace Aretha. Much R-E-S-P-E-C-T to you !!!

Fine tribute to Aretha Like all of those song titles near the end!

Really sad to hear about this!

Here's the review from the June 27th, 1970 issue of Cashbox. I believe the 6-70 at the bottom of the label referred to the release date.

I'm going with Luther Ingram too !

I would say it's legitimate. The delta number would be from June, 1970 so it should be okay.

Eddie for everyone !

The 45 received a 4 star review in April 1968 in Record World. It appears ARC had U.S. Offices in New York. It seems "You're So Good To Me" was designated as the A side.

Further down in the listing , the seller described it as mint minus and looking like it was never played. Not sure what condition it really was. Let's see if more copies turn up .

This mint - copy lasted less than 20 minutes today!

I believe Mr. Yorey is still with us. Here's another pic of the group -

The only thing I can find about them is an old post on SoulfulDetroit where someone says the group was from Jacksonville, Florida. There is no mention of group members. Here's additional info from Billboard from April 1966-

Don't know if it was ever played out but is a nice alternative to the Valentinos/ Rolling Stones versions.

Record World- July 1967

1963 single from Jackie Wilson -

Early 80's alternative to the standard 45 format that never caught on- the 3 inch single-

Laser etched vinyl -

Just wanted to add a correction to an earlier post. Sonny Woods was a member of the Midnighters not the Dominoes. Both groups did record for Federal so its easy to have made a mistake. Here's a picture of Sonny with the Midnighters. That's him in the middle pointing at Hank Ballard.

I don't know why Chess picked up "This Heart Of Mine" in May of 1958 and waited over a year to release it. It might have been to cash in on the Falcon's success on UNART with "You're So Fine" and the followup "You're Mine". "You're Mine" came out in October of 1959 and "This Heart Of Mine" in November of that year. Chess did a lot of strange releases on appearing on 2 different company labels.

I don't have the answer to your question but wanted to clear up a few things- 1) Kudo was owned by Robert West with William Lane as acting president. 2) The United Artists building in Detroit was built in 1928 as a movie theatre to show United Artists films along with those from other studios. I don't think United Artists Records was based out of that building. I would almost swear they were New York City based. 3) The article below shows the Falcons 45 being picked up by Chess during May of 1958.
