Mel I recall something about Freddie in the Robert West story. Perhaps the Hank Ballard bit. David | ||

Mel, the other side is "The Joy of Christmas." It's a long time since I heard it but I reckon it's a bluesy number. | ||

Freddy was a member of a couple of Detroit groups in the early '60s (see Robert West story). He also was a co-writer on a few Detroit songs. He had a few records on Diamond Jim (none of which is classic Northern Soul-to my memory). I have 3 or 4 of them. He also sang a duet (I forget with whom) on Diamond Jim. | ||

Mel, if I can find some time I'll do a bit of digging and see what I can find. In the meantime here's a link to Marv Goldberg's article about the Royals - he was in the group in the fifties. http://home.att.net/~marvy42/R oyals/royals.html | ||
