The Yank

Good to see Patti Young and Duke Browner getting some airplay! See the Soul Prospects section.

From Billboard November 1967

Is it just me or do the lead singers (one male, one female) sound more than just a little alike ??

Another storming track from Ashford and Simpson-

The song was reworked later into .....

Team Dusty for me.

From the same album

From the Marvelettes "Sophisticated Soul" album

September 1965

Here's another version -

At #19, one of the best on the list.

I like all the references to the Marvelettes "My Baby Must Be A Magician" from Melvin Franklin's "you are under my power, it is the power of love" to Teena later singing- "my baby must be a magician, he sure has got the magic touch..."

This one too...

The series started off as "A Package Of 16 Big Hits". Here's the original cover before the series switched over to the more familiar song titles in boxes format .

The Fantastic Four did better in Chicago (#20) without even showing up on the Detroit chart.

In October of 1964, the company decided to promote the "Walk On ..." side.

Going a little off topic, what did Doni contribute to "Bari Track" ?

From the June, 1965 Spotlight Singles column in Billboard

I don't have the current Manship price guide but, here's 3 recent sales vg to vg+- $313 USD (2/18) vg++ $561 USD (1/18) ? $255 USD (3/17) - no grade given- sound clip used

This ?? Sounds sped up though...

Nothing to think about here- 100% Edwin for me ! Doni comes across as some bad lounge singer in Las Vegas.
