THE SHERILLES – Nobody’s Gonna Love You b/w Make It On My Own – 7” – Vinyl

Description

7” – Limited Edition Black Vinyl.

West coast writer / producer George Semper recorded four sides on the Sherilles a group led by Vessie Simmons, who had been lead singer for the Ribbons in the early 60s. She would go on to have a prolific solo career in the 70s, right through to the 90s. Ace sleuth Alec Palao found four Semper-produced sides on two DCT acetates and we
licensed the rights from the Semper family.

These fully realised recordings are from 1968 when the group had to swiftly change their name from the attempted one of the Shirelles which they had hoped to get away with, and presumably cash in on that outfits fame. A court injunction put paid to that plan and though the name change was only slight, it was never tested in court, as the tracks were never issued. Nobodys Gonna Love You is an excellent George Semper song and judging by the 100 Clubs audience reaction to recent plays will become a staple of forward-thinking clubs playlists.

Make It On My Own is in the same groove and not far short of the A side. Vessie would re-write and rerecord it in 1975 as I Can Make It On My Own for a solo release on her Simco label.
