Find Me/Destination You by the Attractions was produced by Anthony Renfro in Los Angeles in 1965 (I believe), and released on the local Renfro label. It was picked up by Bell for national distribution. The attractions had a few more records on Bell. I believe Ronnie saunders was their lead singer. The Don Hart (Heart)-James Shorter record on Cool School was Produced in Detroit by Lou Beatty, who owned that label, as well as LaBeat and Mary Jane. Don Hart was a Detroit artist who recorded for a lot of small local labels, but never had a hit. The Ambassadors on Reel were a Detroit group that also never sold much. I believe the label was owned partly by prolific Detroit producer Johnnie Mae Matthews. Silky Hargraves (Hargreaves) was a sax player who worked a lot for Mike Hanks on his D-Town/Wheelsville USA labels, and later for Ed Kaplan on a couple other small Detroit labels. That D-Town record was popular on the Northern Soul scene. Joe Matthews was another Detroit artist who was around for a decent period, but didn't sell much. His work with Don Davis at Thelma Records was excellent, but didn't get much play outside Detroit. He also recorded for Kool Kat (local Detroit label). Joe L. was a local Detroit artist, who recorded for Mike Hanks and Diamond Jim Riley, and other local labels in the mid-late '60s. I believe Bilesse was owned by Armen Boladian, ((of Westbound)-but not positive-At least, his Westbound distributed it). Jimmy Robins was a Chicago bluesy soul singer in the '60s. He recorded with several small Chicago labels. Jerhardt was a label which had some relation to prolific local producer, Bob Lee. I believe Jimmy was also in a group or two, but can't remember which. Perhaps Don, or DVD Mike can help us there. I remember Jean Queens having several releases on small L.A. Soul labels during the '60s (including John Dolphin's Money Records). Buck Ram was The Platters' long-time producer (and manager?). Those Robins had a hit on that label in 1958 ("Cherry Lips"). The record above is from 1960(I think). This Robins group was the one that split off from it's other half, who became the Coasters. They had a long run from 1949 with RCA, Recorded in Hollywood, Hollywood, RPM, Spark and many other small R&B labels. The GNP Creschendo-Whippit group also recorded with L.A.'s Knight and Arvee labels. I'm guessing, Soulaholic, based on reading your previous SD posts, that you knew most of what I've written here (other than about the Robins, and possibly Jimmy Robins). But, I assume others will give information on the names of individual group members and the like. |

Hey Robb K: No I did not most and am not as indepth with the 411 on some of these groups. I appreciate very much the history lesson as I learn and discover the sounds. Thanks |
