Does anyone know whatever happened to the 1963 group known as the
Jaynettes who had but one hit - albeit a major one - SALLY GO
ROUND THE ROSES. It was such a haunting tune but I don't recall a
follow up.
And, I have asked this before, but no one seems to remember this
duo. The singers were Bobby Byrd and Anna King and they had a
soulful, up-tempo, let-rip tune called BABY, BABY, BABY. The organ
work was riveting and it was a very happy sounding disc. It has
stuck in my mind for these many years. Perhaps Barbara Alston
would know since she was in the thick of this phenomenon known
as the Sixties and played such a stellar role. Anyone? Claudia

too!

I just got the Diana Ross & The Supremes 2-CD Anthology and was
surprised to find their recording of "Things Are Changing" on it.
(As I'm sure most of you know, this was a re-working of "Don't
Hurt My Little Sister" that was used as a public service
announcement.) According to the liner notes, this recording is not
available anywhere else. Is that still true?
I knew that the Blossoms had recorded it (as well as Jay & The
Americans, if I recall correctly), but I didn't know the Supremes
recorded it too. But, I was even more surprised to find that not
only is Phil Spector listed as the producer of the track, but he
is also listed as the sole author! Do Brian Wilson's lawyers know
about this?

Thanks Ian, for such a great in-sight on the Cookies. After I read
your post I had to listen to my Cookies cd.
I remember reading somewhere that "Only to other people" was
reminence of Ronnie Spector`s vibrato approach, and also want to
add that although "Baby,Baby..." is OK at least in MHO , the
killer track is the b-side...."Please, don`t wake me", ....Those
3D drum riffs at the end are pure "Spectorland"! Same goes for the
Secret`s " Hey...Big Boy". They say that imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery!

How in the world did you find out about this tape? This is a
goldmine! That Cinderellas' 45 ranks in my Top 3 favourite 45s
ever! Were there many takes still left in between? And by the way,
was there another set of Cinderellas? Either Margaret switched
groups, or another GG took the Cinderellas name, because in the
Girl Group Fanzine "Cha Cha Charming," put out recently by Sheila
B, a picture of the "Cinderellas appears with three girls looking
nothing like the Cookies. Maybe one of them, but definitely not
all three! And what's this about an upcoming girl group comp? We
need a new one! Nothing out recently.

I heard that the girls had a bit of a nasty split because the two
sisters and Sally had gone off to university and when the record
became a hit and they were called back to the studio to record
more Sally refused to go. Just rumour.
