Remember Da Good Ole Days?
I had me a rubber Froggie when I was 2yrs old that I loved! Unfortuantely I squeezed him out of the little
window in the back of our 55 Chevy and he lost his life on the highway..
So what are some of your memories of the good ole days regardless of your age?

I've always been addicted to both magazines..and my heart just sank with the last ones I bought. I couldn't believe it! I had a subscription to Jet too for the longest. I guess times are really a changin'...
You can read Jet in 2 mins now cover to cover. My best part was This Week's Photo of the stars..

WOW! look at the Nov 15, 1951 and the headline"Why Night Clubs are Dying" ... I would love to read that article...apparently they were given a transplant LOL! What the young folks are doing in clubs these day still boggles my mind.
I haven't read a JET in decades.

That was some good reading...as a matter of fact the whole issue was very interesting....some of the things I read make you wonder why we call those the "good ole days" ROTF .... I'm gonna read a few more

Jet and Ebony chronicle "our" story better than any other publication. I've been reading those older issues as well and man! The good ole days is certainly a relative phrase... :)

This movie was fascinating to me in the day. It's so corny now though. I fell OUT laughing at the
effects when I saw it on cable last--but you have to hand it to them, they were innovative back then.

I remember those "Party line" phones. You had to pick it up and see if anyone else was talking first. How in the word did we put up with that? We had phone numbers with names in them...very easy to remember. Now we have to dial 10 digits just to call next door!! I still have trouble remembering my OWN phone number. Good thing I can store other people number, or I would be totally lost. and pay phones were only 10 cents, and you could talk as long as you wanted. Last time I used a pay phone it was 50 cents, and the darn thing would cut you off in 2 or 3 minutes Ha Ha Ha!

I know--or tell you to put in more money! It ain't nothin like it used to be. My mother put a lock on our phone to keep us from gabbing but I cracked her system by punching out each number with the little button that you push to hang up...like a morse code type thing...ROFLMBOOOOO

The history of the Butlers/Raw Soul is dense, but for all of us music nerds, that's normal. It is not totally clear what year the Butlers actually formed but they released their first single in 1963 on Liberty Records. That single was "She Tried To Kiss Me" and another single followed on Guyden entitled "Lovable Girl." After the Guyden single the Butlers took a break not recording another record until the single "Laugh, Laugh, Laugh" was released on the Phila label in 1966. The group also backed Charles Earland and Jean Wells on one Phila single ("I Know She Loves Me").
As you might be noticing, the Butlers were doing a fair amount of recording but not achieving much success. The group's recordings sold regionally but never had the promotion to make an impact on the national scene. After the single with Phila, the Butlers moved to the Fairmount label (part of the Cameo-Parkway family) and released a handful of singles, some being reissued singles of the past. The Butlers were with Fairmount for 1966-67 and then moved to Sassy Records. Sassy released the group's greatest single (in my opinion) "Love (Your Pain Goes Deep)" b/w "If That's What You Wanted." A copy of that 45 sold for just under $500 last summer on eBay. Even though that isn't that much in the world of record collecting--it's still a hefty sum. The Butlers released another single on Sassy ("She's Gone" b/w "Love Is Good") that appears to be even
harder to come by then the "Love (Your Pain Goes Deep)" single.
The true history become a bit blurred here as the AMG biography states that the Butlers last record was released on C.R.S. in 1974 (". However, between 1971 and that single, Frankie Beverly formed a group called Raw Soul and released a number of singles. Some of the songs recorded by Beverly during this period are "While I'm Alone," "Open Up Your Heart," (both on the Gregor label) and "Color Blind." "Color Blind" was released by the Eldorado label and rerecorded by Maze. Beverly's big break came when Marvin Gaye asked Raw Soul to back him on a tour. Gaye helped Beverly/Raw Soul get a contract at Capitol. Beverly decided to take the group in a different direction, a name change occurred, and Maze was created.
The above isn't the most complete history of Beverly but hopefully someone will know a way to get in touch with the man or his management because a comprehensive pre-Maze history needs to be done on Frankie Beverly (his real name is Howard, by the way). Below you'll find every Frankie Beverly (pre-Maze) song available to me right now ("Color Blind" will be up soon).
If you have a song that is not included below, shoot it over to funkinsoulman (at) yahoo.com and it will go up in the next Frankie Beverly post (later this week--highlighting Maze). Also, if you have any more information please share your knowledge. The Butlers material has been comp-ed sporadically (usually imports) but the entire Maze catalog has been reissued and is available.
Enjoy. "She Kissed Me" (Fairmount, 1966 or 1967)
"I Want To Feel I'm Wanted" (not sure which label or year)
"Laugh, Laugh, Laugh"
(Phila, 1966)
"Because Of My Heart" (Fairmount, 1966 or 1967)
"Love (Your Pain Goes Deep)" (Sassy, 1967)
"If That's What You Wanted" (Sassy, 1967)
Frankie Beverly is one of those cats that has lasting power. He started in the music business doing a tour with doo wop group the Silhouettes and then formed his own group called the Blenders. The Blenders never recorded a single, Beverly wouldn't appear on wax until forming the Butlers a few years later. Along with Beverly, the Butlers included Jack "Sonny" Nicholson, Joe Collins, John Fitch, and Talmadge Conway.
Beverly would later enjoy great success fronting Maze and Conway would become a
well-known penning Double Exposure's
"Ten Percent" and the Intruders' "Memories Are Here To Stay."
While Maze is a phenomenal group, Beverly's work before that group will always stand out as his best (imo).
The Butlers produced tunes that most Northern Soul fans would kill for and Raw Soul gave the funksters something to pursue. The Butlers recorded their first single in 1960 titled "Loveable Girl". Left to right John Fitch, T Conway, Frankie Beverly, Sonny Nicholson and Joe Collins.
