Very sad to hear this. Taking over from David Ruffin was not an easy task but, Dennis did it and kept the group alive and well for years. Another great voice gone !!- Most 'northern' Motown hit..
Most of what I would have picked are already listed. I think these deserve a mention- 1) Contours- "Just A Little Misunderstanding" 2) Isley Brothers- "This Old Heart Of Mine" 3) Kim Weston- "Take Me In Your Arms" 4) Martha & the Vandellas- "Dancing In The Street" 5) Marvelettes- "I'll Keep Holding On "- Gil Scott Heron On Uk Phillips
I don't think it was a different take- I believe Manship pointed out that the U.K. 45 had a different flip side ( "When You Are Who You Are" ) which he though was better than the U.S. 45 that has "Save The Children" as the B side.- Blue-eyed Soul?
If ABC released its 45's in order, Eddie Bishop was released right around the same time as Ray Charles' "Let's Go Get Stoned"- so early/mid 66 would be a good guess.- Blue-eyed Soul?
As someone who listened to black radio stations in the 60's, I don't remember Bobbie Gentry or Lulu receiving much airplay at all. As far as I can tell, the only Bobbie Gentry 45 that ever hit the Soul charts was "Ode To Billie Joe" which was all over the radio. I think Lulu might have made the Soul charts twice(?) and I'm guessing with "To Sir With Love" or with "Oh Me, Oh My...". If there were more , I stand corrected and learned something today. Also, on the other side- The Pointer Sisters won a Grammy in 1975 for "Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" for "Fairytale". I doubt if anyone considers the Pointer Sisters Country artists. There were lots of records you would never think would make the Soul Charts that received airplay. Legendary Chicago deejay Herb Kent had his "Dusties" show on weekends and while 95% was what you would expect. there were some surprises. These songs were also played- Tommy James and The Shondells- "Crystal Blue Persuasion", Tito Puente- "Ti Mon Bo", Martin Denny- "Quiet Village" among others. These two really surprised me - Frankie Avalon- "Venus" and Percy Faith "Theme From A Summer Place". I guess Blue Eyed Soul is getting to be a confusing term.- Most Emotionally Charged Soul Record

- Company sleeves - mythical and most desirable?
This is a Japanese Atlantic sleeve most likely from the late 50's - not sure how rare it is but, it's one that always brings a smile to my face. Everything is going well until they get to Mr. McPhatter.....- Most Emotionally Charged Soul Record
