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.
