Hi roccaday, I am sorry I just saw your post. My dad Percy Williams passed away November 6th 2011 from a battle with terminal Cancer. My heart is very empty without him. His memory lives on and I have heard the songs you wrote. I have the cd with the songs on them. I appreciate your response. Sorry its too late to talk to him. Talk to you soon. Theresa
The man in the Middle in the Picture Frame is my DAD, Percy Williams Lead Singer on most of the LP. Please send prayers up for him as he battles cancer in Detroit hospitals at the age of 65. He is a Soldier for the Lord and he is fighting a strong battle. All prayers are appreciated. Theresa
@tachatmon Your dad and I go back ecorse river rouge-and delray- and I wrote Waiting in the Wings, Searching, Stop the Violence, Cheating on Me...I would like to contact him I was is conection to his venue in London England
sometime back...I did not want to go so I set it up for him to go his last address before I moved was near 7mileburt rd. let me know something --Im in Ypsilanti now still writing songs in my studio..
It has a Motown feel because Motown session men played on the record (on the down low!). Jack Ashford and the late Joe Hunter of Motown's Funk Brothers produced & arranged the Metros.
Joe Hunter's name was the only one on the Metros record as arranger because he was a freelancer. Pied Piper Productions was Jack Ashford's company. Jack played tambourine on many Motown hits. Joe was the original keyboardist for Gordy until he quit in 1964 & was replaced by Earl Van Dyke.

They didn't only play on the record, they produced it! They set up a secret production group called Pied Piper Productions! Berry Gordy was pissed!

Does have a Motown Spinners kind of sound. This was their only chart record.
