The mystery is solved! "Penny" was the nickname of Nannie Coulter Sharpe a 19 year old girl from Columbus, Ohio in the early '70s who sang this song with her brothers as an audition for local producer Clem Price. Her daughter Jayma, living in Germany, heard about the story of the mystery song from Columbus and told her mother about it. The whole family is thrilled to learn the news of what happened.
i know the lady that sings this song, its her and her brothers, She told me this just last night at Bible study, she since has been in contact with the right people , this is awesome ,,,,,,,, I love ethe song , Im a old skooler,
I really like this song a lot. The verses sound way to close to The Isley Brothers' "This Ole Heart of Mine" though. Still, this song speaks to my heart.
Penny & The Quarters are a "lost" band. the identity of the singers are still unknown. this track was discovered after the death of a studio owner. they are still searching for the singers or their surviving relatives to share the royalties earned from this song. (got this info from wiki :p)
@jordan123sang UNTIL NOW! extract from the guardian online that i read today:
'The mysterious singer of You and Me, the sleeper hit from 2010 film Blue Valentine, has been discovered in Virginia, four decades after she recorded the demo as Penny and the Quarters. "It's been 40 years since I've heard it," said Nannie Sharpe. "I'm shocked and elated."'
@jordan123sang As crazy as this sounds, Penny & her now adult daughter are currently residing in Woodbridge, VA . Penny spoke on her story at Harvest Life Changers International Church . Amazed, I looked this band up as soon as I heard of this . Coincidentally, a relative of hers made contact with someone, while visiting Italy, who was actually searching for the "You & Me" singer . She's getting her royalties ! :D
To Everybody who Loves my fathers song me and my mother just want to say thankyou because by you maken this song so popular now you brought my dad back to life to let us know dreams do come true so be looking out for more material by
Jay L. Robinson Thankyou and we Love you ALfie & Glodean Robinson
The group consisted of a female lead with three or four male backup singers and an accompanying guitarist. Like the singers, the name of the songs' composers are not known.
the songs were discovered after Price's death in 2006 when a collection of tapes and acetate records was purchased at his estate sale.
@pureecstasy The story I heard is this recording was done by unknown persons messing around in a recording studio and the recording was discovered many years later. True or not, I can't say.
@atomickiwi Misunderstood didnt listen to the song before I commented on it there was a song featured which I knew and I thought this was the one but this is not that one my mistake
is is possible to get this on record now?
