FYI, my notes show that Diane cut three sides with producer
Gerry Granahan for UA in May 1966. Two of those tracks: PLEASE
GYPSY c/w DYNAMITE were released on a single (UA 50048) and one
title (MY HEART STOOD STILL) was never issued. Arnold Goland was
the arranger on all three songs.

Someone in Japan made a cassette for me awhile ago of bands
hailing from there including Flipper's Guitar (which spawned the
USA-touring Cornelius). Curiously enough, to my ears the Cyrkle's
distinctive wimpy (in a good way!) harmony sound seems to have
directly influenced some of these fairly recent Japanese bands.
No doubt Sean Lennon is hip to some of those groups (probably
through label and producer affiliations), and wouldn't you know
that Cyrkular sound pops up in one of the catchier songs on his
so-so CD of last year.
I wonder if Sean realizes his father is said to have named this
group that sure sounds like one of his musical influences!

Thanks for all the information. I've read a lot about James
Jamerson. Motown, whether in Detroit or LA had some great
musicians. Even today most of the material sounds so fresh! The
Marvelettes tracks in question were "The Hunter Gets Captured By
The Game," "Here I Am Baby," "When You're Young And In Love," and
one of my personal favourites "My Baby Must Be A Magician."

Believe it or not I haven't heard "The Big Hurt, but on one of
the Early Girls compilations she sings "West Of The Wall," a
great rocking song.

I loved both "The Big Hurt" and "West of the Wall." Stan Ross of
Goldstar told me the story of the studio accident that resulted in
the phasing effect on "The Big Hurt." So long, Toni!

Javed, Eternity's Children's second and last LP was a Canadian
only release entitled "Timeless" and, thus, was not self-titled.
However, their first LP on the Tower label was self titled.
Mother's Records in Japan booted both of their albums and they
sound pretty good. On this subject, does anyone have the solo
single Linda Lawley did for Tower?
Does anyone have anything by a GG artist by the name of Mary
Sneed. I have a single, "When I was 17," that she put out on
Capitol and it pretty amazing- most definitely Hal Blaine on
drums. I would love any info on her.

I have been informed today that Timi Yuro passed away. She was
a resident of Las Vegas for many years. I will send more details
when they available.
