Fair version. Does not come close to the Globetrotters.

This should be removed because it is Racist. I am white and object to this.

Lyric is a 1960's re[-issue label. The original of this was on Khoury's.

I love James, O.V.,Otris,and most all the other great men. But to me the #1 has to be Joe Simonbecause of the way he transgresses fro soul to Disco style soul and that is not that easy to do because of the stigma of the word Disco.

This was a big hit anlong with his Come Back To Me Darling here in the Worcester/ Boston area.

These guys are from Central, Mass. This recotd came out on Monarch then on Argo. Roses are Blooming was originally done as Come Back to Me Darling by Joe Therrien Jr on Lido/Brunswick in 1957. Joe was originally from Western Mass. The flipide of Silva-tones Roses is That's All I Want From You ...

Everybody and his brother covered this song but none close to Johnny except maybe Narvel Felts who did and still does soul with a country feel.

This was a great soul man. I have a CD of aboyut 30 cuts from BackBeat/Duke records that is fantastic.

Love this old Excello swamp blues. Better than the Rap Crap that is out today. Too bad you can't hear this great music on radio today. This was a surprise hit for Slim.

This is actually Little Jimmy Rivers & the Tops who were also on Swan(Puppy Love). Not Jimmy Dee of Henrietta fame.

I don't know where this was recorded but it was before Slay & Crew went to Philly and recorded Jackie as Jackie Clark on XYZ. Jackie also had Walkie Talkie on U>A> from what I see in the books.

I'm pretty sure that Tender Slim and Teddy Vann are one in the same.

Great Boston Rock A Billy. Also recorded as Jackie Dallas. This version 0n XYZ 2005. Flip side of this is Pajama Party another great rock a billy. This was a fairly big record on Boston radio in 1959.

This was way before(1951) Jivebombers Bad Boy even though it has some of the same R&B characteristics.

This was before the Playmates in 1956 who I thought were terrible. It's really funny listening to a white pop group no KING especially back then. I know they did a lot of white country but a four lads - crewcuts group. I Imagine they didn't do too much promotion or this might have been a hit g...

This is a Kenny Vance song and should not be attempted by any one else. This version is not bad but it is not good either.

Chuck Jackson was a master soul man.

This is Five Stars #2 from 1958. Other Five Stars groups were in 1956-1957. Indeed this was a smash top 10 in the Boston area.

Takes me back to the Surf Ballroom at Nantasket beach in 1957. Big Boston hit.

Excellent cover.

First release by the pearls. On Atco records in 1955.

Bad Bad Bad Bad cover.

Jimmy Velvet, Jimmy Velvit and Jimmy Tennant are the same person.

Not a fan of Frampton but kudos to hom for pulling off a great version of this Beatles classic. HooRay.

For those of you the real name of this song is Pledging My Love originally done The great Johnny Ace in 1956.

Freddy Scott was a member of this group. This was on Arrow(726) records from 1958.

I used to buy via fron mail from both Ernies and Randys record marts starting in 1956 because I used to listen to Hossman and the others up here in Boston after dark. Some of the records were not available here because of distribution. The 1st two records I bought fro Randys were Just Because-...

Originally released on Sam Cooke's label SAR in 1964. Bobby & Curtis Womack wrote it and sang it. Terrific song.

Are these records on Vintage re-issues of earlier 50s-60's records? The these were released in 1973.

Great cover of the Master James Brown.

It doesn't get any better. This is one of the top 5 Soul songs in my opinion of all time. Right there with Dark End of the St and Jackie Wilson/ Linda hopkins version of "Shake A Hand". Why this song didn't go top 40 is beyond me. Another case of program/music directors screwing up. When it f...

Jimmy Hughes version is better than either Johnny or Ted Taylors versions. In fact all three are some of my favorite soul singers.

Is this Jimmy Dee of "Henrietta" fame. It sure doesn't sound like him? One of my record catalogs list it with hi TNT and Dot records.

This is a great record and is impossible to find. I have been looking for this for years. Maybe Jamie didn't distribute to well in the New England area unless it was a Duane Eddy record. I keep finding strange and excellent doo wop put out by Jamie from the 60's at record shows.

The sound is excellent. I believe this might be a boot-leg because I cannot find any listing of it anywhere or on any site between 1954 and 1970.

Another great lost Fortune Records DooWop.

This is on a Canadian CD of all Andres Fortune Records. I found it about 5 years ago along with Joe Weavers CD of all his Fortune Records. Look on line for it on Deep Discount CD's and DVd's.

Too bad that Fortune had such a bad distribution system. They were on par with Atlantic, Aladdin, Modern and some of the other great R&B labels but could not get there records distributed very well. Over the years I have been able to pick up some unknowns and have I got some great finds.

Tommy Tucker(hi-Heel Sneakers) was a member of this Dusters group. This record is from 1956.

Were these by any chance fron CT>? This was a big hit in Boston although the other side This Is My Love was played on radio quite a bit more, A great 2 sided record.

What a great record. Huge hit here in Beantown.

My 2nd favorite Sam Song. #1 is A Change Is Gonne Come which is one of the greatest R&B/Soul song evere written.

Solomon was a great country and all his songs were relly country with soul.

I believe this was one of those songs that re-mixed from 2 different recordings like Jim Reeves/ Patsy Cline, Natalie Cole and Nat king Cole, Hank Williams Jr & Sr.

This was written as a country song not by Willie Nelson or Ivory Joe Hunter. It was writth by V.F.(Pappy) Stewart. Ivory Joe did a similiar song called Empty Arms which was a big POP hit for Teresa Brewer in 1957. Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves , Perry Como, Tom Jones and Percy Sledge are some of the ...

Bought this 45 for the "A" side of "Keep The Hall Light Burning" and flipped it over and to my surprise out came this beautiful sound. The Clovers is still the Mark but this version alsmost to the top.

I have the original Chanels version on Deb and this is not the Chantels with Arlene Smith.

This is the Chanels or the Five Chanels on Deb 500. The Chantels never recorded this song. If they did it was in disguise. Just ask Arlene Smith.

Best version of this song. Really big in Boston in 54. TriLads had a big version here also in Boston on Bullseye records in 1959. Then of course Skip & Flip in 1960 had the only billboard top 40 hit of this song. It went to #11. I imagine that Marvin & Johnny must have been really high on the ...

This was released in the USA in 1959 on Bullseye 1027.
