Meet the Majors ft Ricky Cordo
When I visited a few months back Cologne (Köln as they say) in Germany I bought a nice compilation album by the Majors. Discovered I had more on various compilation albums. Visited SoulfulKindaMusic which gives a discography. So I learned I also had to search for the Premiers and the Versatiles.
Found out producer Jerry Ragovoy was involved with this group. Ragovoy also co-wrote Garnet Mimms' Cry Baby and produced later on Janis Joplin. And did you know he wrote under the pseudonym of Norman Meade that great Rolling Stones song Time is on my side (amongst others) ?? I like this kind of info.

If you check above SoulfulKindaMusic you will notice I miss some songs from their discography and ask for your help. If someone has the following please send them to me. Would be very grateful.
Premiers (members Robert Morris, Eugene Glass, Frank Troutt, Rick Cordo and Ron Gathers). I see quite a few mentioned in my DBase but don't know if that's this group. So would like to get some discography info.

Peacock 1910 - White Cliffs Of Dover / Just Words _1962

Wanna see more ? Click the archive buttons in the left bar !
Note : full screen window gives you the best view of the comments !
'Clickable' links are for you downloaders soooo convienent but the disadvantage is they don't seem to 'last' long.
The Blogger gets a lot of comments 'please re-up'...... Other, more appropriate/interesting comments, they sadly don't get.... :(
So you will have to do a little work to get the link.
This seems, in my opinion, the best deal between 'protecting' my links and the least effort for you.
Link :
http://r#pidsh#re.com/files/100610826/MftRC-MtM_62.rar
Of course you understand to replace in r#pidsh#re twice the # in an a otherwise you don't have a 'valid' link !!
Paste this valid link in your browser-url and hit RETURN. You can also copy/paste the link into your 'downloadmanager'.
Pass to extract the file : 080319
The file is a small 45MB, 'cause the songs are only in low bitrate 128kbits.
Please donnut give a nasty comment about that.

The next depends, amongst other things, on your security options in your browser and by so the ability to copy/paste the link.
When you see this in Google or Yahoo cache or by my Blog's search function read first the RED instructions at the top left of my Blog !
Direct link (after that go to the plain comment of this 2008_march article !) : JeansMusicBlog
Also possible : just click the 'post a comment' section here !

I have some info for you:
"Lundee Dundee" and "I'll Whisper In Your Ear" are from a Ro-Cal single selection number 1002, issued 1960. Besides the Versatiles single, there is only a second known issue from the Ro-Cal label. It's "Tasty Lips" by Dexter Scott (Ro-Cal 1001).
Thank you for your wonderful blog, it is my favourite one.

Dear Jean,
Here are three of the songs you requested & some info on the Majors. As you can read, the Premiers didn't recorded any songs.
Enjoy
