 Alvin Robinson – Something You Got / Searchin' (Tiger Records TI 104)  Classic New Orleans Soul Vinyl

 

 

Original Alvin Robinson Something You Got Searchin' 7-inch vinyl single on Tiger Records TI 104 featuring classic New Orleans soul music.

Tiger Records 1964  – TI 104


notes:


Alvin Robinson – Something You Got / Searchin' (Tiger Records – TI 104) 
remains one of the defining releases of classic New Orleans R&B. Released 
during the golden era of American soul music, this outstanding 45 RPM single
 showcases Alvin Robinson's powerful vocals and the unmistakable groove t
hat helped shape Southern soul.
The A-side, "Something You Got," became Robinson's signature recording. 
Built around an irresistible rhythm, infectious guitar work, and soulful delivery, 
the song quickly earned recognition among R&B audiences and would later
 be covered by numerous legendary artists, proving its timeless appeal.
The flip side, "Searchin'," complements the release with another strong
 performance, highlighting Robinson's expressive voice and the rich musical 
tradition emerging from New Orleans during the early 1960s.
Issued by Tiger Records as TI 104, this rare single remains highly sought after 
by vinyl collectors, Northern Soul enthusiasts, DJs, and fans of vintage 
rhythm and blues. Original pressings are increasingly difficult to find,
 making the record an important addition to any serious soul collection.
Today, "Something You Got" continues to receive airplay among collectors 
and classic R&B fans worldwide. Its influence can still be heard in later soul, 
blues, and rock recordings, cementing Alvin Robinson's place in American music history.
Whether you're a longtime collector or discovering classic New Orleans soul for 
the first time, Tiger Records TI 104 is an essential recording that captures 
the authentic sound and spirit of early 1960s rhythm and blues.

Session musicians

Unfortunately, no surviving session sheet or AFM contract has surfaced 
identifying the musicians on this single. None of the standard
 discographical sources list personnel.
Given Alvin Robinson's background as a New Orleans session guitarist and 
the musical style, collectors and historians generally believe the backing 
band was drawn from New Orleans studio musicians associated with Joe Jones,
 but this has never been documented. Any names would therefore be speculative.
Recording studio
Likewise, no recording studio has been positively identified.
The most likely possibilities are:
a New Orleans studio used by Joe Jones during 1964 (possibly Cosimo Matassa's operation),
or a New York session organized after Robinson signed with Tiger Records.
Producer: Joe Jones
"Something You Got" arrangement: Joe Jones
"Searchin'" arrangement: Mike Stoller
Tiger Records was the new label established by the songwriting/production 
team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, although they are not
 credited as producers of this particular single.

Prime Mates – Hot Tamales

 
 
 
 

 Prime Mates – Hot Tamales  Classic Dance &  Groove Review

 
 
 
Prime Mates Hot Tamales electronic dance music vinyl single artwork

Sansu records 1967  ‎– 465


notes:


Prime Mates – Hot Tamales is a dance and electronic music release 
that captures the energetic spirit of classic club culture. Built around
 engaging rhythms, dynamic percussion, and memorable melodies, 
the track remains an interesting listen for fans of vintage electronic music.
The production showcases the characteristics that made many dance 
records from its era stand out: driving beats, layered instrumentation, 
and a groove-oriented arrangement designed to keep 
listeners engaged from beginning to end.
For collectors and enthusiasts of electronic dance music, Hot Tamales 
represents a snapshot of a period when creativity and experimentation 
were central to club-oriented productions. Its rhythmic structure and i
nfectious energy continue to appeal to DJs, music historians,
 and fans exploring classic dance releases.
The Prime Mates only released one single 'Hot Tamales'.
They were a group of Sansu studio musicians possibly 
including Allen Toussaint on piano and Art Neville on organ.


Credits


Musicians

No contemporary source gives a complete lineup. The strongest 
published lead is that The Prime Mates were probably a studio-only
 group made up of Sansu session musicians, with possible participation by:

Allen Toussaint – piano (unconfirmed)
Art Neville – organ (unconfirmed)
This attribution comes from collector/researcher notes stating that the 
Prime Mates were “a group of Sansu studio musicians possibly including 
Allen Toussaint on piano and Art Neville on organ.

    Producer – A. Toussaint*, M. Sehorn*

Several compositions credited to Lloyd Price and manager Harold Logan.
Recording date & studio

Robert Parker – Tip Toe Soul Kind Of Loving (Nola Records 729)






Robert Parker – Tip Toe / Soul Kind Of Loving (Nola Records 729) Rare Soul Vinyl






Robert Parker Tip Toe Nola Records 729 vinyl single

Nola Records 1966 ‎– 729


notes:

Robert Parker delivers pure Southern soul energy on Tip Toe / 
Soul Kind Of Loving, released on Nola Records 729. This rare 
45 RPM single blends smooth rhythm and blues grooves with 
the emotional vocal style that made Parker a respected name 
among Northern Soul collectors and vintage vinyl enthusiasts. 
For fans of classic soul music and rare records, 
this release remains a standout addition to any collection.

credits:
Probable session musicians
No confirmed personnel listing for Nola 729 has surfaced publicly, 
but the record was almost certainly cut by the core Wardell 
Quezergue New Orleans session circle active in late 1966. 
The most likely contributors include:
Wardell Quezergue — arrangement / production
Smokey Johnson — drums (frequent Quezergue/Nola drummer)
George Davis — guitar
James Booker or Allen Toussaint — possible piano
members of the regular Quezergue horn section, potentially including:
Melvin Lastie
Nat Perrilliat
Red Tyler

Most researchers place Parker’s Nola sessions from 1966–67 at:
Cosimo Recording Studio (Cosimo Matassa’s studio)

Arranged By – Wardell Quezergue
Producer – Whurley Burley

tracklist:

A Tip Toe
Written By – R. Parker
B Soul Kind Of Loving
Written By – E. Frank / T. Val













Robert Parker ‎– Happy Feet - The Scratch (1966)






Robert Parker – Happy Feet / The Scratch (Nola Records 726) | Rare Funk Soul Vinyl







 
Robert Parker Happy Feet The Scratch Nola Records 726 vinyl single

Nola Records 1966 ‎– 726

 notes:


Robert Parker delivered a raw slice of New Orleans rhythm and soul
 with Happy Feet / The Scratch, released on Nola Records as catalog 
number 726. This rare vintage 45 captures the energetic dancefloor 
spirit of classic Southern funk and R&B, blending infectious grooves, 
tight rhythm sections, and the unmistakable sound of Louisiana soul.
Collectors and DJs continue to seek out this single for its gritty production,
 upbeat tempo, and authentic 1960s New Orleans vibe. Whether you are 
into rare soul, funk breaks, or vintage vinyl collecting,
 Happy Feet / The Scratch 
remains a standout release from Robert Parker’s discography.

credits:


Studio

No confirmed studio credit has surfaced for this exact single.
However, most mid-1960s Nola Records sessions arranged by 
Quezergue were typically recorded in New Orleans studios associated with:
Cosimo Recording Studio (Cosimo Matassa’s studio)
or occasionally other local facilities used by Quezergue during the period.
Because no session sheet has been published for Nola 726, this remains 
an informed but unconfirmed attribution.
Session musicians
A complete lineup for “Happy Feet / The Scratch” has not been documented 
in reliable published sources. The recordings almost certainly used the regular
 New Orleans studio players working around Quezergue and Nola 
Records in 1965–66, but exact personnel are undocumented.
Likely contributors from the Quezergue/New Orleans session orbit during 
that period included musicians associated with:
James Black
Smokey Johnson
Melvin Lastie
Alvin Tyler
Arranged By – Wardell Quezergue
    Producer – Whurley Burley
    Written-By – Robert Parker

tracklist:


A Happy Feet 2:13

B The Scratch 2:35

Robert Parker – “Holdin’ Out / I Caught You In A Lie (1967)







Robert Parker – “Holdin’ Out / I Caught You In A Lie” (Single, Nola Records 738) | Classic Soul & Funk Vinyl







Robert Parker Holdin Out I Caught You In A Lie Nola Records 738 label

Nola Records 1967 – 738



notes:


This single was released on Nola Records, a label associated with 
regional soul and R&B recordings from New Orleans and surrounding
 areas. The catalog number 738 identifies this specific pressing:
Label: Nola Records
Catalog Number: 738
Format: 7-inch vinyl single
Genre: Soul / Funk / R&B
Era: Late 1960s–early 1970s (approx.)
Collectors often seek out Nola Records releases due to their regional 
authenticity and limited pressings, which make them increasingly 
rare in today’s vinyl market.
On the flip side, “I Caught You In A Lie” leans more into storytelling
 and emotional confrontation. It carries a slightly sharper tone, 
supported by:
Punchy rhythm section
Call-and-response style backing elements
A stronger sense of urgency in the vocal delivery
This track highlights Parker’s ability to shift from smooth groove
 to emotional intensity without losing musical cohesion.
Conclusion
“Holdin’ Out / I Caught You In A Lie” by Robert Parker is a powerful example 
of Southern soul craftsmanship. Released on Nola Records 738, 
this 7-inch 
single reflects the emotional depth and rhythmic strength 
of an era that shaped modern funk and soul music.

Robert Parker ‎– Walkin' - Across The Track (1960)






Robert Parker – Walkin' Across The Track (Ron 331) | Rare Soul Single






Robert Parker Walkin Across The Track Ron 331 rare soul vinyl single label

Ron Records 1960   ‎– 331

 

 notes:


“Walkin' Across The Track” stands as a powerful example of the rich, 
heartfelt sound that defined 1960s soul music. While Robert Parker 
is best known for his hit Barefootin', this lesser-known release showcases
 a deeper, more introspective side of his artistry.
This single is especially appreciated in Northern Soul circles, where DJs 
and collectors constantly search for obscure yet danceable
 tracks with emotional depth.
“Walkin' Across The Track” may not have reached mainstream success, 
but that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s a reminder of how many 
incredible soul recordings remain under the radar, waiting to be rediscovered.
If you're exploring rare vinyl or diving deeper into the catalog of Robert Parker,
 this Ron 331 release is absolutely worth your attention.

Robert Parker Barefootin Nola Records LP 1001 vinyl cover

 a favorite among collectors and soul enthusiasts today.
Barefootin’” by Robert Parker is more than just a hit single it’s a snapshot
 of a vibrant musical era. From its New Orleans roots to its lasting
 impact on dance culture, the record stands as a
 timeless example of 1960s soul at its best.
Whether you’re a seasoned vinyl collector or just discovering classic R&B,
 this track is essential listening—and proof that sometimes, 
the simplest grooves leave the biggest mark.

Willie Tee ‎– Teasin' You - Walking Up A One Way Street 1964




Willie Tee – “Teasin’ You / Walking Up A One Way Street” | Classic Funk & Soul Review







Willie Tee Teasin You Walking Up A One Way Street vinyl cover

NOLA RECORDS 1964        SINGLE 708

 

 notes:


Willie Tee (born Wilson Turbinton) was a pioneering musician
 from New Orleans who helped shape the city’s unique blend 
of R&B, jazz, and funk. He was a child prodigy and later became 
a key figure in the development of the New Orleans 
funk scene during the 1960s and 1970s.
His music is known for:
Rich jazz-influenced arrangements
Deep emotional soul vocals
Funk-driven grooves
Strong New Orleans rhythmic identity
Willie Tee also influenced later generations of musicians and was
 closely connected to the city’s vibrant studio and live music culture.
“Teasin’ You” opens with a laid-back but emotionally charged groove 
that reflects classic New Orleans soul at its finest. The track blends 
soft keyboard melodies with warm basslines and subtle percussion.
The song captures the feeling of longing and emotional tension, 
making it a standout piece for fans of deep soul music.
On the flip side, “Walking Up A One Way Street” takes a slightly different 
approach. It introduces a stronger rhythmic structure 
while still maintaining emotional depth.
This track reflects the struggles and emotional complexity often found
 in classic New Orleans recordings, blending storytelling 
with irresistible funk energy.

notes:


Lil Bob And The Lollipops – “Life Can Be Lonely / Song For My Father” 
is a rare and emotionally charged soul 45 that continues to attract 
attention from Northern Soul DJs and vinyl collectors. With its deep,
 expressive vocal delivery and limited pressing history, this single 
stands as a hidden gem in underground soul music culture.

credits:


Lil Bob (Camille Bob)
Lead vocals on both sides
Also active as drummer and bandleader
Known for “singing drummer” style common in Louisiana dance bands
Performance style rooted in gospel-inflected Southern sou
As with most La Louisianne mid-60s recordings, official session 
logs were not consistently published. Based on label practices 
and recurring musicians in adjacent sessions, 
the backing band is typically reconstructed as:
 Horn Section (probable)
Local Lafayette / Lake Charles horn players
Trumpet + tenor sax frontline typical of La Louisianne productions
Arranged in a dance-band soul style (not big studio orchestration)
 Guitar
Likely Guitar Gable (or associated Louisiana session guitarist circle) 
on rhythm guitar in this era
(Gable was known to collaborate with Lil Bob during this period
 and later performances)
Keyboards (possible)
Regional session pianist from La Louisianne house band pool
Minimalist blues-soul comping style 
(left-hand bass patterns common)
Acoustic/electric local rhythm section player
Tight “swamp groove” bassline typical of Lafayette sessions
Either:
Lil Bob himself (on some sessions), OR
rotating studio drummer from La Louisianne house sessions

Little Bob and the Lollipops Nobody But You 1960s Louisiana soul album cover

La Louisianne Records 1966 ‎– LL-113



notes:


Few records capture the raw energy of 1960s Louisiana swamp soul quite
Fronted by singer Camille Bob, the group became a key act in the Gulf Coast
 R&B scene, blending New Orleans rhythm & blues, swamp pop and classic soul
Their recordings for the La Louisianne label in Lafayette produced some 
of the finest regional soul records of the decade.
The song Nobody But You was originally written and recorded in 1958 by 
Chicago R&B singer Dee Clark. The original version reached No. 3 on the 
U.S. R&B chart and No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100,
 becoming one of Clark’s early hits.
When Little Bob & The Lollipops recorded their version in the mid-1960s, 
they transformed the song into a horn-driven Louisiana soul groove, 
replacing the polished Chicago R&B sound with a tougher Gulf Coast rhythm section.
Recorded at La Louisianne Recording Studios in Lafayette, the track features a 
classic R&B lineup of guitar, bass, drums and horns, delivering a direct, dance-floor 
oriented sound typical of the regional scene.
These sessions also produced the band’s cult classic “I Got Loaded,” which later
 became Little Bob’s signature song and inspired numerous covers 
by artists from blues and roots scenes.
