The Robert West Story
Bobby Williams

Sometime in 1963 West and Schofield discovered a young singer by the name of Bobby Williams.

Like most of Williams 45's  "I'm depending on you" / "Tell it to my face" was an excellent double-sider written again by Willie Schofield. Both sides were ballads unlike his later material for Sure-Shot in Houston, Texas.

Don Robey, who owned Sure-Shot, Backbeat and Peacock issued a small number of Detroit45's by such as Carl Carlton, but it is a mystery how Robey came to have Detroit connections.

Sure-Shot, Correc-tone, Double-L and Atlantic are the only labels I have identified which issued Lupine material.
