JOANIE * THE PLUMBERS * BLUE BEAT 260 * UK

Sweet and laid back Doo Wop ballad from The Plummers, an unknown group (?) by me, backed by The Trenton Spence Orchestra, with a nice tenor saxophone break from Trenton Spence, who also is credited as the song writer. Another release with the miss-named title, that could possibly be because of listening to the record and guessing it wrong, or hearing the title read out over the phone and mistaking Joanie for Johnny! Whatever the reason it all adds to the rich texture of Reggae music's record oeuvre. Joanie is a Smith's production / release JA.
