Kudo's follow up to Marv Johnson was a recording by Nancy Peters called "Cry baby heart"/"Don't worry me no more".

The "Band  of Harold Beans Bowles" are also listed on the 45 as Band or Orchestra naming was a feature on many records during that era.

Ron Murphy recalls buying the record from Frantic Ernie Durham's place back in the day. Written on the sleeve were the words "a 16 year old blond from McMichaels school in Detroit".

The Hindal Butts Band featured on the next 45, with lead provided by Barbara Tennant. Hindal had played drums with Detroit guitar genius Kenny Burrell for a number years prior to forming his own quartet, and around the time of the Kudo release the band were resident in Denny's Show Bar on Linwood.

Butt's name can be found on a number of record labels in the sixties including Kool Kat and M-S.
