Hi guys I was wonderin if anyone has ever heard of this Artist or Label? Songs are Will It Happen/Hey Baby I'm Coning Oh Back. Produced By Walter Smith. Songs are written by J. Gong and Freddie Scott. Idea Publishing BMI. I found it in a Stack of Promo soul 45 I bought yesterday and can find nothing on it? It is Good Soul though! | ||

There was a J&S label in NYC in the late fifties-early sixties. Their biggest hit was Over the Mountain by Johnnie and Joe and zel was also involved with the Jaynettes(read J n S) Sally go round the roses. | ||

J&S was run by Zell Sanders, whose daughter Johnnie Louise Sanders (Richardson) recorded with The Hearts, The Jaynettes, and as half of Johnnie & Joe. She started the label around 1956 and it continued through to the '70s. There's some great soul, blues and gospel (and very rare funk) on J&S and its other labels like Zell's and Scatt - Clarence Ashe is a particular favourite of mine. Freddie ("Are You Lonely For Me") Scott made his first record for J&S and he continued to work with Zell - the Lee Pratt 45 dates from 1968. Usually J&S songs were published by Zell's Music, so this 45 could have been an outside production. Why not contact Buddy Resnik in Fla - he publishes the song. He's at husky02746(at)aol.com | ||

If you want to drive yourself crazy try sorting out how many records came out on Zell Sanders' labels - they're a nightmare. She changed the numbering system every time she changed address which seems to have been at six-monthly intervals (slight exaggeration) or as my friend Gary of Apollojams says "when the voices told her to" ;) The 1600 numbers are around 8 years earlier than the 1400's. Then there's a gospel series ..... Davie | ||

Matthew forgot to mention a 45 I still have on the label by Johnnie and Joe titled 'let your fingers do the walking' cant think of number as its upstairs. a nice mid-tempo dancer that got a few spins over here at the all-nighters etc around the mid/late 80's. mel | ||

I was just listening to "I No Longer Believe In Miracles" by Ada Ray. I think it was on the Zells label (go to: http://thehound.net/19920215/m p3s/start13.mp3 ) Ada starts crying and then Zell Sanders breaks in and scolds her "we got a record to do"! My other favorite J&S is "I Searched The 7 Seas" by the Plants, and "Warm Soft & Lovely" by Johnny & Joe. | ||

Hey Lenny Thanks - that's great! I'm a sucker for stuff like that - I guess you're familiar with Jackie & The Starlites? | ||

I've always dug those crying records. Another one is "She's Gone" by Billy Soul on King. |
