  1. I also want to provide a more refined update on credits for "Who Do I Turn To." Bennie wrote the composition under commission from a renowned local folk painter, Theadius McCall. McCall also owned a youth club called "Soulsville U.S.A." in the East Side of San Antonio; he was responsible for putting "the Primes" together and another local group called "Timmy And His Soul Brothers," which Theadius was part of. Bennie was only aware 'Who Do I Turn To' was covered by the Cool Sounds when I mentioned it to him. Furthermore, Epstein heard the Justifiers perform "No Time For You" at a local talent show in San Antonio and ended up recording the tune for the Commands and giving them the song credits. Today, Bennie does receive royalties for "No Time For You" via the Numero Group. Bennie is alive and well in Vegas and still performing with his group "Touch of Silk." This isn't the first time a San Antonio song has been swiped. Robert Williams' group "The Equasions" released 'Its So Hard To Say "So Long" on the Pac Sounds label. Several years later, the "VEE GEES" recorded the same tune and gave themselves the credits. Coincidently, one of the songwriters is "Leroy Williams," who has no relation to Robert Williams. The group consisted of Robert Williams, Vernon Shannon, James "Squirrel" Hartfield, Ricky Cotton, and Lamar Sumter. Williams and Shannon were previously part of the Volumes, which featured harmonizing twins James & Joseph Garnett and Robert's cousin, Ronnie Wallace. All from Brackenridge High School. They released one record on Garu - I'm Gonna Miss You b/w I've Never Been So In Love—another rare SA record. I started an all-45 label and my first release is by the Justifiers, Bennie's first group.

  6. Hello, I'm looking for a VG++ copy of City Limits - Crystal Ball on Portrait. PM me if you got one for sale.
  7. ::SOLD:: Not sure if this belongs here, but I have a Primes Who Do I turn To / Gotta Go now on Lota Soul and an Equasions World of Loneliness / It's So Hard To Say So Long on Pac Sounds. Both are in VG- condition. Both records play all the way through, but there is a needle jump at the 1:01 mark on the Primes. Recordings are attached and have not been altered in any way. I'm ideally looking to trade both records for a VG+ or better copy of the Equasions. If you got one let me know, but will entertain offers. I recently minted up on the Primes which is why I'm looking to sell or trade. primes_who_do_I_turn_to.mp3 justifiers_say_so_long.mp3
