the labels address is out of saginaw michigan,but where were they recorded?
did fifteen cent love and unity get local releases?
after motown the only time choker appears anywhere to my knowledge is on the first two magic city releases by horace williams and leah dawson.after 70/71 he appears in canada middle 70,s by himself and with albert jones and carla whitney on candy apple and attic.
over to you then people,any help will be appreciated.its taken a long while to get this far but i have a feeling the journeys not over yet.

Tricky -I have 21st Generations as Ultra City #316. I'm not sure if it's plural or not.
A group simply called "21st" had a release on the Joy label; something Don Mancha and Mike Terry were involved with and I wonder if it's the same group?
For Tri City #314 I have the title as It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day (not summer). I don't have these 45s so can't be sure this info' is right.

I NEVER SAID FOREVER
Choker set up another label in 1989 which as far
as I know only issued one single
Campo Artists 001 WILLIE JOHN ELLISON
I DON'T JUST WANT YOUR BODY
I DON'T JUST WANT YOUR BODY - inst.
Ellison was the former lead singer for the
excellent Soul Brothers Six who was living in
CAnada at the time when he met Choker. The
single was recorded in Detroit but I don't know where.
I've an address somewhere for TRi-City, I
think Choker set up his own studio in Saginaw
to record local acts. I've never heard of
records by his artists other than those you've
mentioned with the exception of the Black Eyed
Peas who seem to be connected to veteran doo-
-woppers the Del Vikings
