Sheila Anthony, also known as Sheila Ross began her career with her sister Anita Ross as a member of The Royalettes. The members formed the group while in high school. Their “sweet soul” style of the mid-60s recording were mostly produced by Teddy Randazzo. The Royalettes disbanded in 1969. Sheila also worked as a backing singer for The Three Degrees.
Booker T. & The MG’s, the group’s original lineup featured Booker T. Jones on organ, Steve Cropper on guitar, Al Jackson, Jr., on drums, and Lewie Steinberg on bass. Famously, Donald “Duck” Dunn replaced Steinberg shortly after the groups formation.

Booker T. & The MGs were the in house backing band for Stax records. The MGs name often comes up at quiz nights and the widely accepted opinion is it stands for Memphis Group. However, Chips Moman a Stax producer claimed the name was taken from an MG sports car he owned. Apparently the motor manufacturer didn’t like the idea and to avoid law suits, Stax confirmed in stood for Memphis Group. Incidentally, The Triumphs were also named after one of his cars.
Whatever the truth of the matter the group ably supported great artists including Otis Redding, Sam & Dave and many others.

Jerrell Lee Fuller was born November 19th, 1938 in Fort Worth, Texas. He moved to Los Angeles in 1959 where he secured a recording contract with Challenge Records and recorded many songs with varying degrees of success.
In 1961 he wrote Travelin’ Man which was originally intended to be recorded by Sam Cooke. However, the track was recorded by Ricky Nelson and sold more than six million copies worldwide.
In 1967 he moved to Columbia Records as a producer where he discovered Gary Puckett and The Union Gap who were playing in the lounge of a San Diego bowling alley.
Writing and producing Young Girl which was released in January 1968, the song reached number one in the UK and Canada. Some people get their knickers in a knot about the song claiming it somehow promotes paedophillia. Listening to the record, it is of course about a romance that cannot be.
He also produced the hit record Lady Willpower which reached number one in the UK and Canada in 1968. Woman, Woman also charted reaching number 4 in the USA Billboard charts and number 48 in the UK singles chart.
In 1973 he wrote and produced Show And Tell for Al Wilson which reached number one on the Billboard hot 100 selling over 2 million copies.
Jerry Fuller recorded Double Life on Challenge and this became a regular play at soul clubs in the UK.
This rare demo is £275

Young Girl – Great writing, singing and video…
Lyrics
Young girl Get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line Better run, girl You’re much too young, girl
With all the charms of a woman You’ve kept the secret of your youth You led me to believe you’re old enough To give me love And now it hurts to know the truth
Woah, oh, oh Young girl Get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line You’d better run, girl You’re much too young, girl
Beneath your perfume and make-up You’re just a baby in disguise And though you know That it’s wrong to be Alone with me That ‘come on’ look is in your eyes
Woah, oh, oh Young girl Get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line Better run, girl You’re much too young, girl
So hurry home to your mama I’m sure she wonders where you are Get out of here Before I have the time To change my mind ‘Cause I’m afraid we’ll go too far
Woah, oh, oh Young girl Get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line You’d better run, girl You’re much too young, girl
Young girl Get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line
You’d better run, girl You’re much too young, girl Young girl Get out of my mind
