Excellent, fidel - thanks once again big respect Sir...

[rosko]

I have exalted you to the skies!

Great selection - what the heck's with that tune "This A Butter"? Sounds like he's dj-ing over a tagline from a commercial.

Great stuff.

I always thought that "Who You Gonna Run To" was by The Inspirations.
Is it a miscredit?.....I might be wrong....but if is The Techniques...anybody knows who the lead singer is?

[zapatoo]

This version of "Who You Gonna Run To?" is actually by the Shades, Inyaki. It was a mis-credit on the label - perhaps due to misinformation written on the original master tape?

I think every Pama release of this credits the Techniques.

The lead singer on this is Bruce Ruffin ("Rain", "Mad About You" etc.) - he was the lead singer of the Techniques for a little while, as was half of Kingston back then

And it was a Motown original from the mid-60s (can't remember exactly which year) - I have a version by Brenda Holloway from 1965 and I believe this to be the original recording - someone can correct me if I'm wrong - quite a number of Motown songs would be covered by other Motown artists in short spaces of time back then.

...and a great tune too

The Inspirations were also known as the Untouchables ("Tighten Up"), though I'm not sure whether the group's name was used to reflect slightly different personnel or just producer whim!!!

Thanks. Got confused with The Inspirations.
So is by The Shades with Bruce Ruffin on lead vocals.
I got the late 70s cut by Ernest Wilson. I wonder if he was doing backing vocals on that too.

Yes, by the Shades (with Bruce Ruffin)

I'd have to check (at home) to see if the Bruce Ruffin "Rain, The Best Of..." Trojan CD mentions Ernest Wilson...
