Does anyone know anything about the 45 by the above? The two sides are called, "You Got Me" and "Take Me" - both of which were written by Al. "You Got Me" is a thumping, early 60's R'n'B tune, which Arthur West co-wrote: Who's he? I notice that both sides are Flick Publishing, so perhaps Al was a Detroiter hooked up with Robert West, owner of Flick, Contour, Lupine, etc'? Any info is greatly appreciated. |

Graham, I don't have any biographical info. on Al Haskins but I agree there's a link with Robert West. I'm sure Don Robey knew Robert West from the deals on the Bobby Williams tracks if not before - Robey had been picking up Detroit records since at least 1957. Davie |
