I've only got the boot of the above with vocal and instr. - but it doesn't mention B Hodge, just Dale Warren!
Ronnie & Robyn also did Cradle Of Love/Dreamin' on Team Town (another Johnny Powers label), quite nice versions and easy to pick up!

B Hodge is probably Bob "Catfish" Hodge - he
produced at least one of the Capreez singles
who were another Sidra connected group.
Hodge was the singer for a band called Catfish
who had a couple of albums on Epic in the late
sixties / early seventies. He later made a
few solo records for Eastbound and was still
gigging and recording with the Catfish Hodge
Blues Band in the eighties / nineties - probably
still is.

I had a chance to re-connect wih Catfish when he played here in Monterey several years ago. I also played in a band with his brother Dallas who was a great guitar player.

I saw Bob "Catfish" Hodge in the early 90s -- I think it was at Sully's in Dearborn ...

Hi again. I was "Ronnie's" first manager. He sang with a very popular band called the Daytonas,under his real name,which was Bobby. He was 16,when he met Robyn,& fell for her. Her parents said he could live with them,& they'd pay for record sessions. At the age of 17,he had a physical for college,& found out he was in the final stages of Hodgkins Disease. He died at 23. He used to go to clubs & sing right up until the end. What a fabulous talent! Too bad nothing got recorded on him alone.

Thanks Marilyn and Ralph!
David, wow, another record I've got to find - there are too many of them.
I thought I was playing safe just collecting Detroit stuff, but there are still millions to go.

Rare Ronnie & Robyn 45.
Worth noting Sidra #9006 was the first issue of the classic "As long as you love me", more common on #9011. The flip of the former is called "Each time", which in itself is a good stomper of a track, and is on the plainer looking Sidra label.
Anyone got any pictures of this fab duo?
