Does anyone know anything about the later career or current 
whereabouts of Sharon Leigh Rucker who wrote the '69-'71 pop, 
soft-country songs:  "Ain't Nobody Else Like You," and "Don't 
Let The Good Life Pass You By."

Since I'm not technically able to play tracks to musica these days, I
ran Fred's version of "No Good To Cry," along with a few other cherce
items from the "Agnes English" LP, up to my own Probe site, at
http://www.philxmilstein.com/probe . A real pleasant surprise in my
travels through the album today was discovering "AcHenall Riot," a
pop-psych gem that, along with "Judy In Disguise," gave meaning to the
album's additional credit line, "Sitar Furnished By Kenny Gill Music,
Baton Rouge LA."

On  a semi-related matter, I have upgraded both sides of the Basil Swift
& The Seegrams 45. They'd previously been taken from a cassette dub, but
I recently acquired a copy of the 45, and the new versions are from
that. They're available under the same links as the earlier ones, at
"Session 5."

Dig,
--Phil M.

Anyone know of the availability of the pre-Motown Jackson 5ive 
sides?

Thanks,
