Tomorrow's Velvet Dreamz

The OLD and The NEW

2011-06-01T01:37:00.000-07:00

Out of the blue, the blog was restored to the original owners and an old backup was made available, containing original posts from Tomorrow's Velvet Dreamz, The Keeper Of Lost Dreamz, and Underground Soul 4 Life. We are grateful for such unexpected gifts. But time does not stand still and in the meantime replacement blogs have been established, so we will just leave this archive in the blogosphere for old friends to visit on a nostalgia trip or new souldie lovers to stumble across and maybe discover a treasure trove of the music they love. The links are the original ones and may well be no longer valid - we are not in a position to check them out or to re-create new ones if they no longer work - sorry about that !

You will find more of this kind of music at the following sites - please call in !

OHIO SOUL VOLUME THREE

2010-05-05T00:32:00.007-07:00

The final volume of Ohio Soul is finally here. I hope everyone has enjoyed the hard work I put in to complete this series. Front and left-center on the cover are the Casinos. The Casinos were a nine-member doo-wop group from Cincinnati, Ohio, led by Gene Hughes. They are best-known for their John Loudermilk written song "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye," which hit #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1967, well after the end of the doo-wop era. The group was based around Hughes and his brothers Glenn and Norman, and they signed a deal with Fraternity Records. "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" was their first single, and its vocal harmony and organ interlude would not have been out of place in a top ten hit from ten or fifteen years earlier. The track reached #28 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1967. They tried to follow it up with a Don Everly penned song "It's All Over Now" but that only hit U.S. #65. That single did propel them to a two year tour. Unfortunately just like the final destination of so many great soul groups this would be the final highlight for the band. The Casinos track included in this compilation is their very 1st single they produced after changing their group name from The Capris to The Casinos.

Dusty Cross Roads

2010-05-03T14:29:00.007-07:00

The story is that the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in exchange for his musical gift. That Chi-town temptress DustyRose whispered in my ear, but there is no way I am selling my Soul. I'm happy to share it, but no way am I selling it or bartering it, no matter what she is offering in exchange ! So we agreed on a double cross instead; Rose sent me six tracks and I picked six responses and vice versa. So the tracks are in pairs. Hope you like the result ! RossyBoy

Tracklist:

01 - Supremes - Standing At The Crossroads Of Love (DustyRose)

02 - Dionne Warwick - Once You Hit The Road (RossyBoy)

10 - Black Ivory - Don't Turn Around (RossyBoy)

RossyBoy's Founding Fathers Vol 36

2010-04-30T04:12:00.007-07:00

Time to get ready for the weekend. Here are a few notes on this latest comp. Herman Griffin and Herman Lewis are one and the same guy and his claim to fame is that he was married to both Mary Wells and Gigi Griffin of the Charmaines (but not at the same time!). The Johnny and Jackey of track 17 are an early pairing of Johnny Bristol and Jackey Beavers on the Tri-Phi label from 1961. Diana Ross grabbed this one many years later! I have never really understood why Bobby Goldsboro is popular on the Northern Soul scene but there's one track, #11 here ( and probably the only one!) that, in my humble opinion is half decent. And finally just to say that track 19 is getting a lot of spins from me at the moment! Hope you all enjoy this set ....

Back on the scene with volume two of my Ohio soul series. This volume among others include the great Bobby Wade, The Elements and of course the O'jays to name a few.

Send me a line and let me know if you are feeling this project or not. If I get some positive feedback I might offer up my lightly distributed Chicago Soul series. Previously I was prevented from sharing this with the general public due to pressure from an unamed music label.

OHIO SOUL VOLUME ONE

2010-04-23T15:03:00.007-07:00

Here's the first volume from a planned three volume set. Before I take any heat from any of the Ohio soul scholars out there I have to put an up front disclaimer. This series is intended to be only a taste of that great soul that is associated with the state of Ohio. The only requirements I placed on adding an artist to the comp was that the artist(s) had to be born in Ohio, lived in Ohio or put music out on an Ohio record label at one time. I tried to make the series a little bit less mainstream to feed the underground soul appetite of the familia here. Again this series definitely is not going to include everything it rightfully should.....but again this is just a taste to get the familia into the mood for searching a little bit deeper for those forgotten gems from the great state of Ohio. I hope everyone enjoys this introductory volume.........please shoot me a line and let me know what cha think!

1. SHO' NUFF...SLY, SLICK & WICKED

2. VAREE IS LOVE...THE OHIO PLAYERS

3. DO YOU REALLY LOVE ME...THE FOUR MINTS

4. GOING, GOING, GONE...THE O'JAYS

5. CAN'T YOU HEAR ME CALLING...BOBBY WADE

6. YOU ARE MINE...EDDIE RAY

7. WONDERFUL TO BE LOVED...ICE COLD LOVE

8. I CONFESS...ELIJAH & THE EBONIES

9. NEVER WALK OUT ON YOU...MITCH MITCHELL & GENE KING

10. I CAN'T FIND HER...THE ROTATIONS

11. BING BONG...THE DETERMINATIONS

12. SWEET DREAM...THE BLADE FAMILY

13. I'M TALKIN' ABOUT LOVE...EARNEST BOLDEN

14. I'M FALLING...THE CASINOS

15. DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS...SAMSON & DELIJAH

16. ANOTHER SUNDOWN IN WATTS...THE EXITS

17. CAN'T GET STRUNG OUT...THE FOUR MINTS

18. STAY MY LOVE...SLY, SLICK & WICKED

Cross Border Collaboration

2010-04-23T13:17:00.007-07:00

"SVERIGE" is Swedish for "SWEDEN". I know this because I used to collect postage stamps as a kid ! But that is the country where our brother FLUX_IS_KRUX is from. FLUX is partial to Modern Soul dancers because it's cold in Sweden in winter and he needs to shuffle his feet to keep warm. So we decided to do a Northern European collaborative comp to show the Cali sunshine boys and girls that we knew what we were at when it comes to soul music. FLUX sent me 12 of his favorite tracks and I had the pleasure of trying to dream up 12 titles in response. You know the story by now; I call this a Single Cross. The tracks are in pairs; FLUX's pick and my response. Of course, I can't confine myself to any specific genre, so my picks are from across the board, although, to be fair, there's no Doo-Wop this time ! So, this comp is a little bit different from the normal fare served up on this site. But no harm in that I say ! The cover really says it all, so please give us some feedback so we know if we are hitting the spot......... RossyBoy

RossyBoy's File Not Found Vol 34

2010-04-18T03:56:00.007-07:00

My world was in disarray. First I found an untagged track in my files which even DustyRose can't name. And then, calamity of calamities, I discovered that Volume 18 of my compilations is missing. I searched high and low but it was nowhere to be found. Stupid me, of course, I thought that maybe it had never existed ! That's right - I thought I had just skipped right over volume number 18 ! Being too obsessive to let it go just like that, I made a Vol 18 to keep the set in sequence and complete. But as soon as I posted it today, benlynx (maybe my one and only true fan ?!? ) came straight back at me with a comment to remind me about Biting Bullets Vol 18, missing from my hard drive! So it's actually Biting Bullets that is File Not Found, if you follow me ..... And now there are not one, but two, Volume 18s ! What a silly old Soulie I am....LOL !!!

I have tried to rectify my mistake and I'm now calling this comp Vol 34 with a link for the revised cover below !

Just a note on the Little Anthony of Track 15 - it's not Anthony Gourdine from the Imperials, but rather Anthony Bellante from Dallas, Texas, and you may remember I featured the flip of this "Nobody But Me" on Look Both Ways Vol 25. I redressed the balance by putting a grown-up Anthony Gourdine track in at number 3 and a version of an Imperials' classic at number 10. Hope you all enjoy this additional entry in the archives !

Tracklist:
01 - The Sensations - Gonna Find Myself Another Girl
02 - Barrino Brothers - It Doesn't Have To Be That Way
03 - Anthony & The Imperials - It's Not The Same
04 - These Gents - Yesterday Standing By
05 - Ronnie Dyson - I Just Don't Wanna Be Lonely
06 - The Montegos - Most Of All
07 - Rosie Jones - Think About It Baby
08 - Madeline Bell - You've Got What It Takes
09 - The Isley Brothers - Nobody But Me
10 - Esther Phillips - Going Out of My Head
11 - Escorts - Tell Me Baby
12 - Tyree Glenn Jr. & The Fabulous Imperials - Yesterday
13 - The Kittens - Cheek To Cheek
14 - H-Town - A Thin Line Between Love And Hate
15 - Little Anthony - You're My One & Only
16 - Susan Maughan - That Other Place
17 - Ronnie Dyson - When You Get Right Down To It
18 - Dells - Private Property
19 - Jerry Butler - I Dig You Baby
20 - The Moments - Seven Days

This has a little bit of everything including some tracks picked up from the crew.

I see the Ireland Shot Caller R.B. already beat me to the punch for the 1st post of the weekend.......I also have a premonition that beside R.B.'s classic soundz we will also be blessed with a composition by the talented MISS CHOC-O-LIT..........anyway I hope TARNISHED ANGEL VOL. 5 can point you in the right direction for a fabulous weekend!

RossyBoy's Guided Missiles Vol 33

C-Town's Finest - The Poet Bobby Womack

2010-04-08T04:55:00.007-07:00

Bobby Dwayne Womack was born in Cleveland on March 4, 1944. His upbringing was strict and religious, but his father Friendly also encouraged his sons to pursue music as he had (he sang and played guitar in a gospel group). In the early '50s, while still a child, Bobby joined his siblings Cecil, Curtis, Harry, and Friendly Jr. to form the gospel quintet the Womack Brothers. They were chosen to open a local show for the Soul Stirrers in 1953, where Bobby befriended lead singer Sam Cooke.

The Womack Brothers made several recordings during 1960 and 1961, including a few gospel sides, but Cooke soon convinced them to record R&B and renamed them the Valentinos. In 1962, they scored a Top Ten hit on the R&B charts with "Lookin' for a Love," and Cooke sent them on the road behind James Brown to serve a boot-camp-style musical apprenticeship. Bobby eventually joined Cooke's backing band as a guitarist. The Valentinos' 1964 single "It's All Over Now," written by Bobby, was quickly covered by the Rolling Stones with Cooke's blessing; when it became the Stones' first U.K. number one, Womack suddenly found himself a rich man.

Cooke's tragic death in December 1964 left Womack greatly shaken and the Valentinos' career in limbo. Just three months later, Womack married Cooke's widow, Barbara Campbell, which earned him tremendous ill will in the R&B community; many viewed him as a shady opportunist looking to cash in on Cooke's legacy, especially since Campbell was significantly older than Womack. According to Womack, he was initially motivated to look after Campbell in an unstable time, not to tarnish the memory of a beloved mentor.

Jut a little trivia ..Bobby's brother, Cecil Womack, was married to the late, great, Mary Wells.

Hope you enjoy.

The O'Jays - C - Towns Favorite Sons - The Early Years

2010-04-04T11:16:00.007-07:00

The O'Jays are Canton Ohio, Cleveland based group, originally consisting of Walter Williams (b. August 25, 1942), Bill Isles, Bobby Massey, William Powell (January 20, 1942–May 26, 1977) and Eddie Levert (b. June 16, 1942). The O'Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of fame in 2004, and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

Original member William Powell died of cancer in 1977 at age 35. As everyone knows, following in Eddie's footsteps were his two sons the late Gerald and Sean Levert (who formed the group Levert).. For many years you could find the O'jays performing on New Years Eve at Leo's Casino in Cleveland..What a way to close out the old and welcome in the new..

Hope you enjoy

Here's a back in the day comp I made a while ago that I thought I would throw out to share with the familia. No big story behind this one....just thought I needed to get something out since I hadn't put in any real work for a while.

If anybody dls this and is feeling my words throw a little luv in the comment section. Our site to date has almost maxed out our capacity of 100 members but we still get very little comment action. The crew at this site work hard 2 make sure all of our familia here are never at a loss for some of the most overlooked, underground sweet soul that you can't just find everywhere.............plus it's free.

But Motown Records filed an injunction because of the group's name, the 45's were withdrawn and re-issued with the group credited as The Young Vandals, In1971 Otis became a member of The Temptations , it was then when he changed his name to Damon Harris (Group already had a "Otis" ) but he was fired from the group in 1975 because of differences between himself and the rest of the group...

On Matrix

05. Duprees - Didn't Want To Have To Do It
1966 on Columbia Records
I love this song, no matter who sings it!

10. Black Nasty - I Must Be In Love
Black Nasty took a very rock-minded approach to Detroit soul and funk -- probably too rock-minded for many program directors at black radio. And at the same time, Black Nasty was too funky and soul-oriented for FM rock radio. So Black Nasty fell through the cracks in the early to mid-'70s, Black Nasty had no problem turning around and providing silky, mellow slow jams such as "Rushin' Sea" and "I Must Be in Love,"

11. First Class - Coming Back To You
1977 on Platinum Records
This cut was produced by Silvia Robinson,George Kerr & Donnie Elbert.....

14. Val Mac-Kenna - Mixed Up Shook Up Girl
Piccadilly Records UK 1965
About a year after Patty & the Emblems Top 40 hit in 1964

18. Gaslight - Drifting Away No year
Grand Junction Label...This record has a kinda high pitching annoying sound in the background which I thought was becuz of the way the rip came out but upon my research I found it for sale on line with the sample & guess what? it's just the way it sounds :)

19. Dubs - If I Only Had Magic
ABC-Paramount 1961
Another one of my fav DW Groups
AKA The Marvels,The Vocaleers amoung others
Lead was the wonderful voice of the late Richard Blandon

21. Platypus - Appreciate Your Love
1980 Casablanca Records Disco Funk

23. Shades Of Brown - Little Girl
1970 Cadet Records
Chicago's Cadet Records
Not to be confused with Latino rappers Lighter Shade of Brown of course

Enjoy!

MzO's Sophisticated Southern Soul Vol 1

2010-02-21T09:51:00.007-08:00

"No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper;

I'd like to thank G and all who've helped him for keeping our house, a "home"
Hello family. I’m MzO and to be frank ... I just wanna listen to music and enjoy it for whatever emotional ride it’s set to take me on. But the blessing of being the new chica on the block comes with responsiblity. And it's my duty to elaborate on my choice of songs I’m providing for my first solo contribution to Foolish Dreamer Oldiez. Although writing is one of my greatest passions, nothing is as passionate to me as a great ballad or love.

February is a great month to make my debut for my first comp because being the incurable romantic that I am, I love.... “LOVE.” I mean, who doesn’t? The hunt and then the chase of it. The tumbling head over heels in love and trying to stay in it. The you-hurt-me-so-dayum bad-but-I-still-love-your azz love. Make-up too still break-up love. Back in love again and the memories of love.

Being a part of such a great team, I hope I can stand up to the challenge of delivering a great comp for you. On this comp, we’ll take a stroll back down memory lane to a place that we all are or once have been in, all because of love...

Oscar Irwin - Let one hurt do / Transplant ~ ABBOTT 2015 (1973?) Irvin does an exceptional job on expressing one hit to his heart is definitely more than enough. Lorraine Rudolph - After All I’ve Been Though /JETSTREAM 817 (early 70s?) . She seems to have cut this one single and illuminated her feeling of dissatisfaction. Soul Lee - I Need You /REGINALD 1488 (mid 60s) This Greenville, MS exhibits confident vocals . Brenda Varner - Let Me Be A Woman / The late wife of Don Varner appeared for the first time on Charly UK’s series of LPs. Track # 24 Brenda Duff - Left in Love Alone/ ~ BLUE ROCK 4083 (1969) We heard from her on track # 4. Guess on this one she choose to use her maiden name. And on track # 26 Don’t Give Up On Me , the comparison is to soul singer Bettye Swann. Fred Martin - Love Don’t Leave Me Now ~ RU-JAC 9170 (1970) Track # 9 Take Me Back Again ~ RU-JAC 9170 A pleading ballad. Giving us an experiencing intense vocal performance with a female chorus in the background. Dorothy Williams - Closer to My Baby /VOLT 118 (1964) This ballad is classy. Dorothy’s intensity pushes emotional hotness into this cut. Li’l Nelson - You Could Have Kissed Me Goodnight / ~ RIDE 10066 (mid 60s) An obscure artist giving us a blues based ballad. Lady Margo is her recording name, but her real name is Joyce Fargo. She’s also used Joyce Smith. She contributes 3 fine cuts to this comp. This Is My Prayer ~ MTH 3394 (1974) track # 8. Stop By~ CYNTHIA 1000 (1976?) Track # 20 & I Had To Go ~ SOUL WORLD 007 (1973?) track # 22. This first single gives a charged emotional deliverance with a little rap in the middle. Rhonda Davis - A Long Walk On A Short Pier ~ DUKE 473 . A tale of betrayal and despair. Eddie Houston - That’s How Much I Love You (Alt Version)~ CAPITOL 2170 (1968) A collective. Alice Thomas - I’m Coming Home~ ODEX 1044 . She starts with a little spoken word in the beginning with complimentary deep tones throughout the cut. Jay Robertson - I Can’t Live Without You~ MALA 551 (1967) A nice ballad and is the only 45 he has ever made. Betty Green - Don’t Play With My Heart~ CRACKERJACK 64002 (1964?) Betty’s a force to be reckon with on this b-side ballad that comes straight from a church background. Billy Woods - No One To Blame~ VERVE 10451 . This song is scrumptious and the hook to the melody is great. Emma Atkins - Lonely Girl~ DELTA 0003 (1968) Hailing from rural Louisiana and never leaving her hometown, she gives us a strong southern delivery. “Lil Willie - Tell Me Why~ GOLDEN 117 (1972) A female background gives his vocals more impressiveness. Lorraine Randolph - It’s Over Between Us~ GEMINI STAR 30006 (1966) A stellar ballad that you may have listen to already, but will still want to hear over and over again. Joe Wilson - I Want To Love You/ ~ WHITE CLIFFS 242 & Now You Want To Do Right~ WHITE CLIFFS 281. This New Orleans native gives us two beautiful soul ballads done in the early 60's. He later collaborated with Jean Knight to give us another great ballad. Mr. D. & The Highlights - Every Now and Then ~ JAS 316 (early 70s). I did mention I love an emotional ride. And that’s what Mr. D provides with this 45 cut. Third Guitar - Been So Long ~ ROJAC 127 (1969) This ballad has been featured on a comp before, but it sounds so good and reminded me of one of my favorite groups “The Impressions, I added it on just for good measure.

1. Oscar Irwin - Let One Hurt Do
2. Lorraine Rudolph - After All I've Been Though

Orquesta Oldies: En Español Vol. 2

2010-01-25T11:40:00.007-08:00

...Compiled By Musk...

~ Orquesta Oldies: En Español Vol. 2 ~

A Collection Of Oldies From Latin Salsa Orquestas

Many If Not All Salsa Orquestas Were Heavily Influenced By American Soul Music, I.E. Motown, Stax. And These Bands Wanted To Write Their Own Soul And Oldies To Record, But At The Time Salsa Was Becoming Very Popular In America And Record Execs Were Out To Sign Salsa Acts. These Bands Were Signed As A Salsa Orquesta, Not Soul Or Oldies. Execs Wanted Salsa, Many Artists Wanted To Record Oldies Along With Salsa. So The Acts Were Only Allowed Limited Songs That Were Not Salsa, You Can PIck Up Almost Any Salsa Album And Find One Or Two Slow Love Songs. We Might Have Heard A Lot More Latin Oldies If It Weren't For Record Execs Wanting To Push What Was Hot At The Moment, Instead Of Artists Recording Everything They Wanted, They Were Allowed To Release A Few Soul Tracks Per Album. Soul Music Was Huge In America And Record Execs Already Had Plenty Of Soul Acts, Now They Wanted To Reach Latinos In America, They Wanted To Jump On The Salsa Bandwagon, They Pushed Their Artists To Record Salsa Not Oldies, Thus Hindering True Artistic Freedom Of The Artists.

In These Compilations I'll be Releasing, You Will Hear Those Tracks. Latin Orquestas Writing American Soul Type Of Music About Love, Women And Heartbreak. Many Could Sing In English And Spanish. Volume 2 Is Also All In Spanish. Enjoy.

Star Crossed Lovers

2010-01-24T14:54:00.007-08:00

This is a double cross by DustyRose and RossyBoy. Remember the concept: we both sent six tracks to each other; then we reacted to the other's picks by choosing six further tracks each. And you listeners get to see the creative process because we wrote a little piece on each of the second set of picks to show what was going through our minds in response to the originals. Hope you like it; let us know !

01 - Terry Johnson of The Flamingos - Let's Be Lovers (DustyRose)
(Hot Fun Records CD, 2005)

I know Terry Johnson’s late 60’s career at Motown better than his Flamingos days, so it’s a choice between two of his later tracks “My Spring Time” or “Whatcha Gonna Do”….

02 - Terry Johnson - Whatcha Gonna Do (RossyBoy)
(Gordy, 1969)
03 - Starbright! - He’s An Aries Man (RossyBoy)
(Doré, flip of “Sunshine”, 1975)

I like this song or it would be even better if it was a male group singing “She's An Aries Woman” (‘cause it’s my Star Sign, he he !). So I would like to respond with this track by the Tokays. They only had one release on Scorpio, so I assume this one was unreleased.

04 - Tokays - You Better Check Out Your Sign (DustyRose)
05 - George Goodman & His Headliners - Starlight And Moonbeams (DustyRose)
(VAL, 1964)

There were very few recordings on the VAL label and this group is good enough to give them another airing. So it has to be the very first VAL recording which was also by them, especially as the title is very apt for the compilation’s theme !

06 - George Goodman & His Headliners - Let Me Love You (RossyBoy)
(VAL, 1964)
07 - The Radiants - One Day I'll Show You (RossyBoy)
(Chess, flip of "Father Knows Best", 1962)

One of my favorite Chicago groups of course, thanks RB! Can't help but to respond to this one with a great Chicago Duet which is another favorite. It was Barbara Acklin's first chart success as a singer and reached number 30 R&B in the spring of 1968.

08 - Gene Chandler & Barbara Acklin - Show Me The Way To Go (DustyRose)
(Brunswick, 1968 )
09 - Lamont Dozier - Why Can't We Be Lovers (DustyRose)
(Invictus, 1972)

I just can’t see any of the names of Brian and Eddie Holland or Lamont Dozier without automatically adding them all together and thinking “Four Tops”, especially as I was privileged to see The Tops perform live in the late 60‘s. So it has to be this track from the late Levi Stubbs and his buddies, given this compilation‘s title…

10 - Four Tops - Lonely Lover (RossyBoy)
       (Motown, This Is Northern Soul! The Motown Sound Vol 1 CD, 1998)
11 - Fannie & The Varcells - Inside Of Me (RossyBoy)
       (Lash, 1963)
What else comes to mind for this RB pick is the word “inside”, therefore....
12 - Techniques IV - I Feel So Good Inside (DustyRose)
       (Jasino, ?)
13 - Chi-Tones - Two Lovers (DustyRose)
       (Crystal Ball, “They Sang In Pittsburgh Vol 1” LP, 1990)

This song has also been issued under the title “True Lovers” and there are versions by both The Four Chaps and The Vogues on the CO and CE label from 1966. There’s also a nice version by Johnny York. But my selection for this one is just too good to pass up….

14 - Mary Wells - Two Lovers’ History (RossyBoy)
(Jubilee, “Servin’ Up Some Soul“ LP, 1968)
15 - Stargard - Love Is So Easy (RossyBoy)
(MCA, 1978)

LOL Yeah, if only….! Here’s another side of the story (not to be confused with some R&B male group...!)

16 - Silk - Falling In Love Isn't Easy (DustyRose)
(Nation Records, ?)
17 - New Generation - You're My Everything (DustyRose)
(Surfside Records, “Love Songs For You” LP, 1995)

I don’t know anything else by this group except “Daddy’s Home”, mainly because they are from Hawaii, not exactly renowned for its Soul legacy, so I am jumping off sideways for some nice Latin soul from a group with a very similar name…

18 - New Generation Orchestra - I'm No Fool (RossyBoy)
(Rico Records, “Agitando” LP, 1972)
19 - Roy Hamilton - Stardust (RossyBoy)
(Collectables Records CD “Anthology: Rare Tracks 1955-59”, 1995)

Though he is not as well remembered today, vocalist Roy Hamilton was an extremely popular and influential hitmaker during his short career in the 1950s. A man of many talents - a boxer, an artist and one of the all time great singers. Hamilton died in 1969 at a young age of 40 years old. His voice and legacy have earned numerous accolades, including induction in the Hit Parade Hall of Fame and Reflections in Black Museum Hall of Fame....If I had to choose one of his songs, it would have to be one of my favorites by the Beatles.

20 - Roy Hamilton - And I Love Her (DustyRose)
(RCA Victor, 1965)
21 - The Monitors - You Share The Blame (DustyRose)
(SOUL, "Greetings! We're the Monitors" LP, 1968)

I see ScavenJah just beat us to the punch on this one and for sure it’s a lovely Smokey Robinson song that can stand repetition. Both DustyRose and I have featured Monitors’ tracks previously and their 60’s output is certainly worth considering further, maybe their first release just as they changed their name from the Majestics. The promo copies of this track are under the name Majestics while the stock copies are credited to the Monitors. It’s the sweet slow ballad…

22 - The Monitors - Say You (RossyBoy)
(VIP, 1965)
23 - The Flamingos - Lovers Never Say Goodbye (RossyBoy)
(End, 1958)

Oh, I love me some Flamingos! Nothing they sang is a bad song in my book. I have so many favorites from this group and RB you picked one of them. I would have picked a Soul response like The Philly Devotions - I Just Cant Say Goodbye, but wanted to keep it in the doowop era. For the doo-wop beginners among us, this is what you want a group to sound like, so my choice for this one is…..

24 - Five Delights - There'll Be No Goodbye (DustyRose)
(Unart Records (NY Bronx), 1958)

RossyBoy's Caught Black Handed Vol 26

2010-01-23T09:04:00.007-08:00

It was Lil'Cholo's mentioning his birthday that did it - made me realise that because it was before the 21st of January, he didn't quite make it into the Age of Aquarius, unlike me. So that made it easy for me to pick the opener for this set, "Aquarius" by the Undisputed Truth. I've put in the Johnny Truitt track at number 8 because in a recent poll of the best ever Deep Soul tracks it came out on top. Can't say that I think it's that great, or even very good, myself, but now at least you can make up your own minds. Which makes me think that a Deep Soul special must be on the cards because I've seen a couple of polls of the best-ever tracks of that genre recently and I wouldn't really have agreed with either of their results ! What else do we have ? Oh, yes - I've always been a big fan of Aretha's version of "Until You Come Back To Me" and I knew that Stevie Wonder wrote it, but I didn't realise that he had recorded it. Well, here it is ! Also, if you are a fan of that monster from a few years ago "Dilemma" by Kelly Rowland & Nelly, as I am, you'll find the Patti LaBelle track featured here very familiar. A number of versions make the playlist as you should have come to expect by now, plus some others that have crossed my mind when working on other projects. Enjoy!

Track List
01 - Undisputed Truth - Aquarius
02 - Vivien Reed - Yours Until Tomorrow
03 - Edwin Starr - Has It Happened To You Yet
04 - Stevie Wonder - Until You Come Back To Me
05 - Patti LaBelle - I Love, Need, And Want You
06 - Earl-Jean - I'm Into Somethin' Good
07 - Aretha Franklin - I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face
08 - Johnny Truitt - Your Love Is Worth The Pain
09 - Terry Johnson - My Spring Time
10 - Two Tons Of Love - It's A Bad Situation In A Beautiful Place
11 - The Dontells - Lover's Reunion
12 - Brenda & The Tabulations - Don't Make Me Over
13 - Barbara Mason - Just A Little Lovin'
14 - 21st Creation - Baby, I'm For Real
15 - Edwin Starr & Blinky - Ooo Baby Baby
16 - Lou Johnson - (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me
17 - Goldie & The Gingerbreads - Bye Bye Baby
18 - The Four Chaps - True Lovers

The Moments - Sharp (1978)

2010-01-21T12:47:00.015-08:00

The Moments and Stang/All Platinum Records parted after this release. Some of the cuts sound like experiments and rejects from other sessions that had been collecting dust. "Dolly My Love" sounds like it was originally designated for someone else, as the sound is different from what Moments fans expect; it bombed in the States, but flourished in the United Kingdom. The Spinners' "I'll Be Around" has a totally different arrangement than the original; Al Goodman's bass sweetens the chorus. Lush is the word for "I Could Have Loved You," one of Harry Ray's better leads. On "Rain In My Backyard," the Moments employ Thom Bell's technique of closing the song with a gospel-inspired, improvising lead, which Billy Brown does well. Nothing else compels you to listen too intently. "Jack-in-the-Box," like "Dolly," enjoyed some popularity in Europe.

Tracks:
I. Could Have Loved You
2. I'll Be Around
3. Rain in My Backyard
4. Disco Man
5. Lady in Blue
6. I've Got to Keep My Head on Straight
7. Jack in the Box
8. Dolly My Love

RossyBoy's Look Both Ways Vol 25

2010-01-17T12:31:00.071-08:00

January is named after the Roman god Janus, the god who looked both ways - back into the old year, and forward into the new. And that seems quite appropriate for contemplating our new blog. It's hard to believe that TVD and KLD were on their knees less than two weeks ago, despite their success. Already we are going from strength to strength and now that only proven dedicated enthusiasts of our fantastic musical heritage are on board, I think we are stronger than ever. So, in accordance with my New Year Resolution, I am plowing on with yet another episode of the long-running series of RossyBoy compilations. It's the usual mixture, with quite a few versions of well known songs this time. I had some ideas left over from my Double Cross venture with MELLO, so it was easy to include some classy leftovers from that project. (DustyRose and I are working on a new double cross project, so watch out for that coming up soon.) Track 3 here isn't Anthony Gourdine from the Imperials, but rather Anthony Bellante, who cut this deep obscurity in Dallas, Texas, as the flip of “You're My One And Only” on SHOW ART in 1967(?). But I do have another great version by Baby Washington of the Imperials' "I'm On The Outside (Looking In)" which I only acquired a couple of days ago. If you listen to Fannie & The Varcells at number 9, you may hear traces of the Imperials' "Tears On My Pillow" too. Many people think that Irma Thomas' version was the original of the Rolling Stones' "Time Is On My Side", but trumpeter Kai Winding beat her to the punch on this one, with the hard-to-find track featured here at number 7. I hope there is enough here to keep up the very high standard of UnderworldSoul4Life. Enjoy, and let me know what you think....

Track List
01 - Phillip Mitchell - I'm Gonna Build California
02 - Stargard - Don't Change
03 - Little Anthony - Nobody But Me
04 - George Perkins & The Silver Stars - Crying In The Streets
05 - Dionne Warwick - If You See Bill
06 - Dee Dee Sharp & Ben E King - We Got A Thing Going On
07 - Kai Winding & The Enchanters - Time Is On My Side
08 - Lee Scott & The Windsors - Cool Seabreeze
09 - Fannie & The Varcells - The Guy
10 - Enchantment - Forever More
11 - The Ad-Libs - Human
12 - Baby Washington - I'm On The Outside (Looking In)
13 - Honey & The Bees - Inside O' Me

Eddie & Ernie - Lost Friends (1972)

2010-01-16T18:34:00.015-08:00

Eddie & Ernie were the Phoenix-based soul duo of Eddie Campbell and Ernie Johnson, issuing about 15 singles between 1963 and 1971. To make matters a little confusing, some of the singles were credited to Ernie & Eddie, the New Bloods, or Ernie & Ed. There were also 1967 solo releases by Campbell and Johnson. Running through about a dozen labels, they never got any significant chart action, though some of the singles appeared on relatively big imprints like Columbia, Chess, and Buddah. They were good soul singers, though, often recording their own material, sometimes sounding a little like Memphis or Alabama deep soul singers with a slightly less avowedly church overlay, sometimes going into more minor melodies and downbeat subject matter than most such soul performers did.

Although the records were average-to-above average soul and never less than competent, they lacked a solid unifying style or that one great song or two that would grab national airplay. In that respect they were like many of the uncounted soul also-rans of the 1960s, albeit ones that persevered and got to record more than most. Though some of their singles sounded as if they could have been done in Memphis or Muscle Shoals, they also did poppier sad ballads and dance tunes with a more Northern production feel, and in fact these are more distinctive than their churchier deep soul-ish recordings.

02. Earl Lewis & The Channels - Yo Te Quiero ( I Love You )
It was not only their songs that made them famous, but the desire of every kid on every street corner to sing those songs and sound just like them. It all started back in June of 1956. The Group's career took off after having performed at the world's famous Apollo Theater in Harlem,

I don't have a year or label on this one but I know the label was light pink!

These MGM CHARADES were formed with a different line-up when the original 1950/60's Doo-wop group who had planned a comeback, were reluctant to sign a new contract. This prompted the record label to work with a mysterious new act based in New York.

25. Universals - Again
I found this song for my brother after a mission at my local record store and because he didn't remember the artist, I must have listened to 4 or 5 versions before I knew this had to be the one and I was right...mission accomplished! & what great taste he has!

Please leave a comment :)
I'll be back next week in hopes to be on a better & improved PC!

The Manhattans - After Midnight (1980)

2010-01-13T18:25:00.071-08:00

The finest Manhattan album in their second incarnation. The original group with George Smith had a slightly rougher, more traditional R&B/doo-wop sound, while the soul unit featuring Gerald Alston was smoother, but no less anthemic, especially on ballads. This album didn't make it as high on the pop charts as their self-titled '76 work, but had more consistently compelling tracks. "Shining Star" and "Girl Of My Dream" are masterful ballads.

Enjoy!

Title:
01 Shining Star
02 It's Not the Same
03 Girl of My Dream
04 Cloudy, With a Chance of Tears
05 The Closer You Are
06 If My Heart Could Speak/One Life to Live
07 Just as Long as I Have You
08 It Couldn't Hurt
09 Tired of the Single Life
10 I'll Never Run Away from Love Again

The Edwards Generation - The Street Thang (1976)

2010-01-13T14:35:00.070-08:00

The Edwards Generation Was Led By Chuck Edwards. All Members Of The Band Were Family Members. For Instance Chucks Brothers, Children, And Nephews. Myron Edwins Played Bass On This Album, Sung Lead Vocals And Composed A Few Tracks, All At The Age Of 16. Released In 1976 on "Tight" Label, The LP Quickly Drifted Into Obscurity. It Would Remain the Only Full Length Lp They Released. Chuck Edwards Passed Away Around The Year 2000. But Many Of The Family Members Continue To Make Music To This Day.

The Highlights Of The Album Are "You're The One For Me" And "Starlite Starbrite". Some Of The Other Tracks Lean Toward The Funk Side, Especially The Drums. But Most Are Very Emotional Soul Songs. Enjoy

Boulevard memories

2010-01-09T00:53:00.014-08:00

This is my first post. In fact my first attempt at anything like this so my apologies for any imperfections or errors. So many of the posts here are very elegantly and masterfully done and in time I hope to get better.

It is also my first real chance to give back to those who have contributed and shared so much wonderful music here.

I grew up in East Los Angeles, California in the late 50's and 60's and cruised Whittier Boulevard where Fords & Chevys ruled the day. My memories of those days have never faded because of the music which is presented here.

This is a mixed bag of doo wop, Chicano oldies, R&B and soul by artists from the greater Los Angeles area. From Huggy Boy at Dolphins of Hollywood to Art Laboe's requests & dedications to the R&B and soul played on KDAY and KGFJ and is dedicated to oldies lovers everywhere.

Please leave comments.

02 - Gassers - Hum-De-Dum

Orquesta Oldies - En Espanol Vol. 1

2010-01-08T11:18:00.070-08:00

Many if not all Salsa Orquestas were heavily influenced by American Soul music, i.e. Motown, Stax. And these bands wanted to write their own Soul and Oldies to record, but at the time Salsa was becoming very popular in America and Record Execs were out to sign Salsa acts. These bands were signed as a Salsa Orquesta, not Soul or Oldies. Execs wanted Salsa; many artists wanted to record Oldies along with Salsa. So the acts were only allowed limited songs that were not Salsa. You can pick up almost any Salsa album and find one or two slow love songs. We might have heard a lot more Latin Oldies if it weren't for Record Execs wanting to push what was hot at the moment, instead of artists recording everything they wanted. They were wllowed to release a few Soul tracks per album. Soul music was huge in America and Record Execs already had plenty of Soul acts. Now they wanted to reach Latinos in America; they wanted to jump on the Salsa bandwagon and they pushed their artists to record Salsa not Oldies, thus hindering true artistic freedom of the artists.

In these compilations I'll be releasing, you will hear those tracks - Latin Orquestas writing American Soul-type of music about love, women and heartbreak. Many could sing in English and Spanish. Volume 1 is all in Spanish. Enjoy!

Track List:

01 - Joe Cuba - Triste
02 - Sociedad 76 - Como Te Amo
03 - Ralfi Pagan - Abrame La Puerta
04 - Joey Aponte - Tu Seras Mia
05 - Joe Cuba - El Raton

RossyBoy's Sole Survivors Vol. 24

2010-01-07T16:06:00.071-08:00

Well, it’s the start of a whole new phase and the audience may well be even more discerning than before. But it’s great just to be back souldie-ring on (ouch!). And I thought it important to keep the momentum going, so I’ve quickly put this latest comp together and trust that the quality hasn’t suffered because of that. It has a bit of a Latin feel, with three tracks in Spanish and several with a Latin beat. At No. 3, we have the Spanish version of Two Tons of Love’s “What Good Am I Without You“. A lovely version follows of “On the Outside Looking In” by the inimitable Miracles. I’ve slipped in a couple of early Jimmy Hughes tracks. You’ll probably recognise a couple of my favorites, The Two Ronnies, Dyson and Walker. It’s hard to believe Ronnie Walker was just 15 when he recorded the spookily sad soul valediction “I’m Saying Goodbye” on the flip of his debut recording for Bell in 1966. As usual, there are a couple of unusual versions of familiar songs and some sweet slow jams. The closer by Rachelle Ferrell is from her 2000 album “Individuality (Can I Be Me?)“ so it’s anything but an oldie ! Suffice it to say, normal service has been resumed………

Tracklist
01 - Quintessents - Movin' On
02 - Cicero Blake - You're Gonna Be Sorry
03 - Dos Toneladas De Amor - Soy Nada Yo Sin Ti
04 - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - I'm On The Outside Looking In
05 - Ray Jay & The Eastsiders - I Love You
06 - Lebron Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
07 - Junior & The Starliters - Queen Of My Heart
08 - Jimmy Hughes - Steal Away
09 - Vivian Green - Every Little Bit Hurts
10 - Lat-Teens - El Amor Que Yo Te Di
11 - Rhetta Young - Maybe It's The Best Thing
12 - Precisions - Such Misery
13 - The True Reflection - Look At All The Lonely People
14 - Ronnie Walker - I'm Saying Goodbye
15 - Ronnie Dyson - Girl Don't Come
16 - Joe Cuba Sextet - Mujer Divina
17 - Jimmy Hughes - I Like Everything About You
18 - Casuals On The Square - Till The End Of Time
19 - Richard Dimples Fields - I've Got To Learn To Say No

Instead I'm gonna go out on top of the game with an instant classic! No person or entity can control my thoughts, emotions or actions!

This will be my final gift to the listeners....a compilation aptly named "HARD TIMEZ OLDIEZ." This compilation was partially inspired by the homeboy Mexikanz who asked me recently if I could do an album featuring his ride on the front cover. Some people might think HARD TIMEZ OLDIEZ is a description of our oldiez sites gowing thru hard times....it's actually not. This is just a realization that the weak, jealous and lame that instigated the closure action are gonna be out of luck in the future when they try to seek out true underworld soul. They no longer will be able to depend on KLD or TVD for their daily or weekly fix. If you study the "HARD TIMEZ OLDIEZ" album cover you'll see the cat on the right smiling with a devious gleem in his eyes...that represents me....THE G MAN. The reason I'm smiling is because for one year worth of work I have enough oldies and contacts to supply myself for life.....I'm the one that came away with the big score. The cat on the left represents the lame and the jealous that thought it would be a good idea to close us out.......in time they will realize that was their biggest souldies blunder of their lifetime......soon their faces will be the carbon copy image of the loser on the left side of the album cover.....everyone knows how the world works......the harm you cause will make a return trip back to your life as your own personal gift!

This comp is filled with oldies from 1957-1964. The kind of soul rolas the real souldies lovers were listening to at 5 a.m. in the morning on New Years Day while they were still in full party mode from the night before.

This will be my last contact with many of you. I want thank all of the loyal listeners & the dedicated members of the E-mail Familia for all of their support. Most importantly I want to thank the TVD CREW MEMBERS....our work is truly something to be proud of.

From here THE G MAN is gonna fade into the night.......my old email is closed, it will no longer be available to get in contact with me....Got lots of new ideas and avenues to exploit in the future. I will get in touch with some of my very deep and loyal contacts in the future if at all possible.

As my partner Soloe likes to say........to the lame, the jealous & the haterz:

"BOW DOWN TO THE GREATEST UNDERGOUND SOUL BLOGS OF ALL TIME AND KISS THE PINKY RING BITCHEZ!"

RossyBoy & Mello's Double Cross (Incomplete Project)

2010-01-04T15:56:00.071-08:00

This is an unfinished project which I am posting now due to the immininent demise of the site. So grab the link while you can.
It was to be a breakthrough compilation because it would be the first truly interactive comp on TVD.
The concept was as follows:
Mello and I both sent six tracks to each other; then we would react to the other's picks by choosing six further tracks each. And you listeners would get to see the creative process because we would write a little piece on each of the second set of picks to show what was going through our minds in response to the originals.
Mello and I were finding it great fun and Mello is still working on his responses to the first six tracks I sent him. So, it is incomplete and now we have run out of road, but I hope you get some enjoyment from the partial result !

Track list
01 - Jerry Butler - Mr Dee Jay (I Got A Heartache) (RossyBoy)
       (Mercury album "Mr Dream Merchant", 1967)
02 - The Impressions - As Long As You Love Me (RossyBoy)
       (ABC Paramount, flip of "Gypsy Woman", 1961)
03 - Renaldo Domino - Just Say The Word (RossyBoy)
      (Blue Rock, flip of "Don't Go Away", 1968)
04 - Oscar Toney Jr & Wilson Meadows - California Girl (RossyBoy)
      (BGR CD "Guilty Of Loving You", 2001)
05 - The Precisions - Eight Reasons (Why I Love You) (RossyBoy)
      (Highland, 1962)
06 - Lou Ragland & The Band Masters - Never Let Me Go (RossyBoy)
      (Way Out, 1962)
07 - Enchantment - Enchanted Lady (Mello)
I know this from the album of the same name. Should I pick a track from one of their other albums, "Enchantment" or "Once Upon A Dream", say ? Maybe that great track by them, "Forever More" ? Or for the sake of variety, another group with a similar name, such as my old favorites Thee Enchantments. In the end I go this road and select:
08 - The Enchanted Five - Try A Little Love (RossyBoy)
       (CVS, ?)
09 - Paris - I Choose You (Mello)
The only other track I know by Paris is the Northern Soul biggie "Sleepless Nights". Maybe something by Bobby Paris, Fred Paris or the Paris Sisters! But I decide to go the other way and pick something based on the word "Choose" in the title. A few goodies spring to mind such as Eula Cooper's "Beggars Can't Be Choosey" or Tavares' "I Hope She Choses Me". But the one that wins out is:
10 - James Bell & the Highlighters Band - Trying To Get Chosen (RossyBoy)
      (Three Diamonds, 1970)
11 - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - I Really Love You (Mello)
This was an easy one for me as any compilation can withstand a couple of Harold Melvin tracks and I've had this particular response on the back burner waiting to go on a future comp:
12 - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes ft. Sharon Paige - I'm Searching For A Love (RossyBoy)
      (Philadelphia International album "Wake Up Everybody", 1975)
13 - Heaven & Earth - Just In Time (Mello)
Must be a Chicago classic, because DustyRose has picked this in the past. Don't know anything about this group, so a jump off sideways picking up off "Heaven" in the title, then there's plenty of choice cuts. The selection is:
14 - The Controllers - Heaven Is Only One Step Away (RossyBoy)
      (Juanna Records album "In Control", 1977)
15 - Ray, Goodman & Brown - Take It To The Limit (Mello)
I've a few albums by them, but the Eighties is getting late for my taste, so I'm going for a track from their earlier incarnation as the Moments:
16 - The Moments - All I Have (RossyBoy)
      (Stang, 1970)
17 - The Dells - Passionate Breezes (Mello)
I was tempted by "Stay In My Corner" from their Passionate Breezes album, but that re-make can't stand comparison with the original fantastic version. I love "Cool Seabreeze" by Lee Scott & The Windsors but it has to be another Chicago group, Five Sparrows aka Velvetiers aka:
18 - Gerald Sims & The Daylighters - Cool Breeze (RossyBoy)
      (TIP TOP, 1962)

RossyBoy's New Year Resolution Vol. 23

2010-01-04T12:18:00.071-08:00

Hogmanay is the Scottish drinking festival, known to the rest of the world as New Year’s Eve. A good time to look back on the Old Year, the first year of the TVD site and reflect on its many successes. It is fair to say we have established a good track record ! And also it is time to look forward to a bright New Year and anticipate more sweet tunes to come. So I’m resolved to keep on firing out compilations ‘til you listeners tell me stop or, since the comments are often silent, ‘til the downloads dry up. This, then, is my first offering of 2010. Two little themes in this one. First I saw how popular Little Julian Herrera’s tracks have been recently, so I thought I’d pop in a few. Track 18 is the original version of “Lonely, Lonely Nights” on the Dig label from 1956. In 1963, Lil Julian contacted The Illusions to back him up on a remake on the Essar label. Since I was harking on about Hogmanay, I thought I might bring you some blue-eyed soul from the Celtic Fringe as the secondary theme. The kick-off track from Glasgow funksters AWB probably sums up my 2010 Resolution nicely ! There’s another wee Glasgow “hairie” (Scottish slang equivalent of chola) in at No. 13, with Lulu’s take on “Here Comes The Night”, the classic by another Celt, Belfast’s Van Morrison. I have a Scottish beat version of the Northern Soul standard “Ain’t No Soul Left In These Ole Shoes” by the Beatstalkers. And an R&B classic by the Athenians, who were my regular Saturday night live music suppliers in the teen clubs of Edinburgh, which is known as the “Athens of the North”. I’ve thrown in some other names that have popped up in other people’s comps recently, and a few that appeared at some time on my playlists over the holidays. I’m particularly fond of this Dee Dee Sharp version of the Neil Sedaka classic “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”. Whatever your aspirations and resolutions for 2010, remember the final track and sing along with Eleanor Grant….”Yes You Can“. A Happy Listening and Soulful New Year to you all !!!

Track list
01 - Average White Band - Play That Funky Music, White Boy
02 - Little Julian Herrera & The Johnny Otis Orchestra - Here In My Arms
03 - Tavares - Let Me Heal The Bruises
04 - The Beatstalkers - Ain't No Soul (Left In These Ole Shoes)

The Replies Project Vol. 1

2009-12-26T03:50:00.071-08:00

It was back in August that ScavenJah first came up with the idea of the Replies Project, a compilation of answer songs. Of course, it's been done a few times before, but the TVD team always brings some new additional dimensions to old chestnuts, whether it's unusual versions or just plain rare oldies. So other members of the team chipped in with ideas and tracks, but like all things in life, distractions set in and it has taken a while to start to bring it to fruition. But quite a few interesting rolas are waiting to see the light of day and we expect this compilation to be the first of several, so watch out for more in the New Year. We hope this first one gives you some listening pleasure over the holday period. Enjoy!

LOCO TIME OLDIES - FOOLISH TOMORROW VOL. 1

2009-12-22T14:19:00.015-08:00

Here's a short & sweet......and when I say sweet I mean very sweet....comp put together by myself and three of the TVD veteranos.....SCAVENJAH, SOLOE & MELLO. With a lineup like that there isn't really any explanation needed about the quality of this CD. Download this bad boy, get in that kick back mode, pop a cold one and get ready to float in the clouds.....flying high has never been so sweet.

An extra big thanks goes out to DJ SCAVENJAH for taking the time to organize, edit, tag and upload the link.

After experiencing this special piece of underworld soul history if you feel the love....give us a little bit of love back in the comment section.

G MAN

Here’s some reconnaissance material:

Johnny Neel and the Shapes of Soul
Born and Raised in Wilmington, Delaware, Johnny Neel cut his first single at the age of twelve, as Johnny Neel and The Shapes Of Soul.

Johnny Neel was born June 11, 1954 and became blind shortly after his birth. His first band was "Johnny Neel and the Shapes of Soul," with whom he cut a single at the age of 12. He later formed a band with his two brothers called "Internal Calm." He attended St. Mark's High School in Wilmington, Delaware.

Johnny is an accomplished songwriter whose tunes have been recorded by the likes of the Allman Brothers, Joe Louis Walker, John Mayall, Irma Thomas, Ann Peebles, Marie Osmond, the Oak Ridge Boys and Travis Tritt.

The Four Mints
The Four Mints (also known simply as the Mints) were a true oddity, a respected white vocal group in the midst of the early rock & roll era, capable of doing convincing R&B. James Wilson (lead), Gene Warr (first tenor), Aubie McSwain (second tenor), and Al Warr (bass) had known each other since childhood and sung together for years, throughout the '40s. Their main influence was gospel music, and they'd sung in churches for most of their lives. They quartet had sung locally around Center, TX, mostly at local events and church functions.

They took on the name the Four Mints and crossed over into popular music and R&B in 1954-1955. They'd always listened to the black R&B vocal groups of the period and proved good -- even inspired -- students: unlike, say, the Crew Cuts, the Four Mints didn't "bleach" out the sounds that they learned to create, but kept them intact even as they made them their own. They were, in many respects, the group equivalent of the phenomenon that Sam Phillips claims to have been searching for, a white man who could sing black music.

Little Joe & The Latinaires
Little Joe & La Familia has been one of the most popular Tex-Mex bands in the music industry. Little Joe has been entertaining for more than 40 years and has been described as the "KING OF THE BROWN SOUND". He has also helped pioneer "Tejano" music, a mix of traditional "norteño", country, blues and rock styles.

Jose Maria DeLeon Hernandez, "Little Joe", was born to Salvador "La Cotorra" Hernandez and Amelia DeLeon Hernandez in a three-wall dirt floor garage in Temple, Texas on a cold stormy night on October 17,1940. He was the 7th child of 13.

When Joe was 13, his cousin, David Coronado, recruited him for guitar, Cino Moreno on drums and Tony Matamoros on saxophone to join his band "David Coronado & The Latinaires".

At age 15 he had his first performance in Cameron, Texas for $5.00 at a high school Sock Hop. He was so excited, he realized that picking guitars beat cotton picking - and he could actually get paid for it!

He made his recording debut in 1958 on Terro Records in Corpus Christi, Texas, as a guitarist on an instrumental single "Safari part 1 and 2" composed by the members of the Latinaires. A year later, Jesse, Joe's young brother who was a bassist, singer and songwriter joined the band. Since David Coronado was leaving, Joe took over the band renaming it "Little Joe & The Latinaires".

Dianne and Carole with the Latin Whatchamacallits
Dianne and Carole with the Latin Whatchamacallits’ Feeling The Pain. One of the very few female-lead New York Latin albums of that era, the LP itself offered no details of who Dianne and Carole were (not even their last names) nor who played on it. Marin is credited for some of the songwriting but even he doesn’t remember working on it or who else may have. Subsequent interviews with other Speed artists yielded no other details either. Given that the LP cover was a close-up of an eyeball (the first three Speed LPs were all fairly abstract in their cover art), we don’t know what they looked like. Regardless, “The Fuzz” off that LP has become its best known single; a slinky Latin soul number with vibrant organ and horns.

Gigi and the Charmaines
Gigi and the Charmaines’ brief and only Billboard chart appearance at #117 in 1961 doesn’t reflect the trio’s great solo work on six different labels, nor does it take into account their work backing Lonnie Mack (the CD includes his Baby What’s Wrong, Oh I Apologize and Say Something Nice To Me) or their singing behind artists that included Little Willie John, James Brown, Bobby Freeman, Conway Twitty, Gary U.S. Bonds and Hawkshaw Hawkins at the King Records’ studio. These acheivements made them Cincinnati’s top girl group. Gigi Griffin, nee Marian Jackson, the Charmaines lead singer, helps to tell the story of the group in Mick Patrick’s informative sleevenotes. How, for instance, they won a recording contract with Fraternity Records on a local televised talent show. The CD includes the group’s debut 1960 Fraternity 45 from late 1960 Rockin’ Old Man backed with If You Were Mine, for which Gigi wrote the lyrics. More 45s, including What Kind Of Girl (Do You Think I Am), which topped a rival version from Erma Franklin in the summer of 1961, followed and they worked on local dance party shows “...just like Bandstand, but local” including the one hosted by Nick Clooney ‘that’s George Clooney’s dad!’ Gigi said.

Sag War Fare
Sag War Fare is a really mysterious vocal harmony group from Orlando in the early ’70s. This song is almost bordering on being a ballad. It’s something you snap your fingers and sway a little bit to. But the vocal is just so amazing. It really carries you through, captivating you from beginning to end.

RossyBoy's Natural Facts Vol 22

2009-12-21T03:31:00.014-08:00

I'm usually keeping a couple of comps on the simmer - a bit like cooking. I throw in a nice track here and an interesting rola there as they appeal to me. I had the makings of a pre-Christmas soul meal but was lacking a couple of ingredients. And then that little debate on Soloe's last unknown gave me the spices I needed to finish off this repast.So in went a Richard Dimples Field pinch of light funk. And the final taster was a version of his "One Bad Habit" from Betty Wright. So, added to the other versions included (as you should expect from one of my comps) and some other sweet tunes, I hope you will find this a tasty little snack before you settle in to all that Christmas turkey, pudding and carols.
