Harry Balk passes


Recommended Posts

The Detroit music business legend died over the weekend. We know him best for his Impact, American Arts and Big Top recordings. He was influential at Motown and had big hits with Del Shannon and Johnny & The Hurricanes at the start of his career. Del Shannon's 'Runaway was a very influential record for this eight year old. I believe he was married to Patti Jerome whose 'No More Tears' had a few Northern Soul plays

This Balk/Micahnik production easily makes my all time top ten. Duke Browner's song delivered with great clarity and backed by The Royaltones who included at the time Dennis Coffey, Bob Babbitt and saxophonist George Katzakis.

RIP Harry Balk, Detroit Music Man
