(Virtue Studio Acetate Unissued)
03. The Egyptians - Can I Believe
04. Tobi Lark - Challenge My Love

07. The Fawns - Is It Too Early
1968 - Caap City Records, This group of Sisters were a very well known group on the East Coast out of Washington D.C.

11. Deon Jackson - I Can't Do Without You
1966 - Carla Records
Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Jackson largely made his living touring the Chicago cocktail lounge circuit, never fulfilling the enormous creative and commercial promise of his mid-1960s material, although his peak output remains much-adored by aficionados of classic soul.
12. The Combinations - Come Back
Yr Unknown - Kellmac Records
13. Jesse Boone - You Can Depend On That
Soul-Po-Tion 119, From South Georgia, He started
his career as a high school band director, later he began his recording career as well. Much later in his life, he owned a public access television station which was sold by his family two years after his death in 1996 at the age of 62 (PS: I am seeking a copy of Willie & Anthony - "You Can Depend" on the same label)
14. The Moments feat. Mark Greene - I'm On The Outside Looking In
2005 - Fajr records, A native Washingtonian, Greene is the original lead singer for "The Moments", one of the most important Soul groups of all time and was the lead artist for the Stang record label.The Moments were serious contenders for chart spots.
15. The Joyettes - Story Of Love
1956 - Onyx 502
16.The Inclinations - Could This Be Love I Feel
1974 - Janus Records
17. Together - Oh What A Night
Only one band I know by this name & heard them many times perform in Chi Town...Not completly sure but they sound like them...then again I can be wrong.
18. The Charts - Nobody Made You Love Me

24. Thee Unknown Four - Sad Girl
RPC label - Unknown year,Kinda of a sad version of this song but I like it.This Group was from East LA.
25. The Admirations - Wait Till I Get To Know You
1963 - One-derful Label, From the North Side Of Chicago
Lead singer Kenneth Childs sang in a mournful tenor similar to the Five Stairsteps' Clarence Burke Jr., but not nearly as exciting. When they jumped to One-der-ful Records, they enjoyed their most popular record, "Wait Until I Get to Know You," After a final One-der-ful release issued in 1968 It all ended when One-der-ful folded. Some of their artists signed with Toddlin' Town Records, but the Admirations, needing more drifted from the record business without even as much as eyeballing a royalty check.

01. The Cinderellas - Fairy Tale
1965 - Mercury
02. Mayer Hawthorne - I Wish It Would Rain

03. 100% Pure Poison - My Little Someone
1974 - Soul Brother Records
04. Jay Wiggins - Forgive Then Forget
2 labels, JW 1015 / IPG 1015 (1963) H'es aka Majeed, This fine ballad may just be the best side he ever recorded. The horns blaze away adding power and weight to Jay's lovely baritone vocal. Wiggins is best known for his biggest seller "Sad Girl" from 1963.
there's indication why his musical career came to such an abrupt halt - he was imprisoned for refusing the draft for Vietnam.
05. Bunny Sigler - Ooh Baby Baby
2005 - Soul Renaissance Records, Born Walter "Bunny" Sigler from Philadelphia, Pa, who has done extensive work with the team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff,[and who was instrumental in creating the "Philly Sound" in the early 1970s. H'es nicknamed "Mr. Emotion."
06. The Dynamic Concepts - Here I Sit Alone
1960's - Ken-Del
07. Guy Allen - Changes
08. The Chosen Few - Baby
There are at least 5 different groups calling themselves The Chosen Few. 1 reggae, 1 punk from Australia, 1 psychedelic from the 60s another, metal and finally a hardcore (electronic music, not metal) act. There’s also a 60’s soul group called the Chosen Few (not be confused with the reggae band of the same name) I dunno which group this is.....does it sound reggae?
09. The Hearts - All My Love Belongs To You
1955 - Baton, These 5 High schoolers were originally assembled by Bronx, NY . They recorded under a variety of aliases including not only the Hearts but also the Poppies, the Z-Debs and, most famously, the Jaynetts, to whom the 1963 classic "Sally Go 'Round the Roses" was credited.
10. Heaven & Earth - Let Me Back In
1976 - G E C
A vocal quartet that originally went by the name the Soul Majestics, though this Chicago-based quartet didn't shake up the charts with their releases, their recordings were absolute quality.
11. Leaders - Nobody Loves Me
1956 - Glory, From Newport News, Virginia
12. Buck & Sixteenth Movement - Trust Me This Night
1973 - Supreme Records
13. Ron Colbert - Just One Kiss Away
no info on this 45

The four surviving members of the Heartbeats reunited in December 2003 to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
16. Leona Buckles - I'm Waiting (To Give You My Love)
1965 - Watch, From New Orleans

Based in Washington D.C., the trio decided to call themselves The Presidents after their hometown. They later changed their name to Anacostia
18. The Originals - I'm Your Man
1981 - Fantasy records, While spending most of their existence in the shadow of Motown's biggest acts, the Originals had a brief shining moment and a couple now-classic songs that will forever secure their place in Soul Music history and whose legacy as stars doesn't match that of other male groups, the Originals discography is a pretty good size.
19. Candye Kane - Forgive Me
2001 - Swango, Candye was raised in Los Angeles where, at 17, she fell pregnant. To help support her son, she vigorously started modelling and stripping as soon as she turned 18, appearing in over 150 magazines from 1983 to 1985. She also sang in a punk band which didn’t quite yield what she wanted and she was dropped by her label. Consequently she discovered the blues which she is now more famous for than her porn and is a massive icon in the blues world. She made a brief comeback to porn in ’98 but Candye Kane had evidently found her niché in music and quit again soon after....this woman can really sing!
20. Dorells - Maybe Baby
1963 - Gel, This is a version of BillyMacs Unknown Motown Acetate (Maybe Baby) on his and RB's Crossing The Bridge Comp....Till this day it remains still unknown!
21. Ty Hunter - I Don't See Me In Your Eyes No More
1972 - Invictus, from Detroit, MI, Tyrone Hunter cut his teeth alongside Lamont Dozier in the Romeos before joining The Voicemasters and later the Moments .. He also worked with Dozier as lead singer with Glass House on Invictus single that was a new take on a Brotherly Love B-side

DustyRose's Fairy Tales Vol. 7

Attention: new link posted for this great piece of work

Heres another Vol. Of them Fairy Tales!
Don't be surprised when you hear xylophone's, birds,organs & crickets as they sure come in handy when it comes to making sweet music!

I want thank RB & G-Man for helping me find The Whispers
track later realizing it's on The Soul Train Gang LP which I have so I'm not sure it was re done by the Soul Train Gang, so until I have a chance to play that LP I will assume this version are the Whispers with Carrie Lucas.....

Thanks for another awsome cover RB :)

Download & Enjoy & of course I want your comments after you listen!, Enjoy!


Some 411 on some of these tunes, as always corrections are welcomed...

but has reunited with "The Saints" in 2005 and is enjoying every Doo Wop minute.
03. Hancock Brothers - Cricket In The Dark

07. Charmels - I've Done It Again
Volt Records AKA (THE Tonettes) AKA (The Dixiebelles)
They evolved into The Charmels in 1966 when Black Moses himself, Isaac Hayes took the band under his wing, tho I found this interesting as this group started off as 3 white females ending with 4 Black females...both sounded great and I love this joint!
08. Candace Love - Uh! Uh! Boy, That's A No No
1969 - Aquarius
09. Kitty & Her Kats - Tell Me Pretty Baby
no yr - Coulee
10. Richard Dimples Fields - Guess Who I Saw Today
11. Shirelles - Oh No Not My Baby
1964 with the group's members alternating leads, an approach which had rendered the song unreleasable, by each [group member] taking their own lead, no one knew any more where the real melody stood." long story short Maxine Brown recorded her vocal over the Shirelles' track with the group's vocals erased; Dee Dee Warwick provided the harmony vocal on the chorus. IMHO I think the Shirelles did a great version!

1963 - Leedon Label, Born John Michael O'Keefe in Sydney, Australia
AKA J.O.K. & The Wild One, and that he was...
23. The Creations - You Mean So Much To Me
24. The Presidents - Girl You Cheated On Me
A sweet soul group from Washington, D.C., they scored with the infectious "5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years Of Love) written by Van McCoy
My last track is a cover version of this infectious song...

03. Imperial Wonders - Just A Dream
1968 - Day-Wood Label, From Cleveland, Ohio. A group once called the Matadors. (This was not the same group as Bull and The Matadors which were from Chicago.) Which meant that a name change had to be made.

They came up with Imperial Wonders...
