That looks pretty doggone complete Wonder B. I assume Clinton produced "I Misjudged You" for VIP, (wonder what was planned for the flip side). BTW, I prefer the remix on CC that came out in April

Wasn't "Sunday ... b/w "The Wind" an acetate only & not an actual release. "The Wind" is eerie. Could have been a record booth thing as doo-wop in '56 didn't always have accompaniment, like the Del-Larks "Remember the Night". They were both cover tunes of popular doo-wop songs from the time (Diablos & Harptones).

Whats the Ernie Harris / Okeh 45 - something you've seen and/or heard? Writers credits?

When you see Ernie's name as a co-writer of something P-Funk recorded in the 70's (Biological Speculation / Eulogy and light) you know those are Ernie-isms that date back to the Barbershop, which Clinton sold his 50% interest in '67. Ernie actually influenced-inspired-created many of GC's catch phrases.

Ever notice that on the original release of "Good Old Music" (Revilots blue & red) that GC - Funkadelic are credited as writers. When additional copies were printed on Revilot's pink label (and all subsequent releases) GC is the only song writer given credit. Oh, the games poeple play.

Happy 4th.
