The 'Fred Hamilton' name was used on a handful of Preview records, and none of them sound like Rodd; it's closer to the 'Alan Poe' singer (a name which did occasionally have a Rodd Keith vocal behind it).

Funnily enough, the A-side of the following release on Preview (credited to Dan Monday, B-side by Alan Poe) does sound like Rodd to me.Darryl W.

I have records of Gene going back to 1956 (on a budget label, doing a cover of a then-current hit) and he sounds just like Gene Marshall even back then. I wondered where you heard him on this track, but I never thought you meant the lead vocal - doesn't sound like him to me at all. And Gene, as far as I know, never appeard on a Preview record under any name but Gene Marshall. It might not even be Rodd - maybe it really is some guy named Fred Hamilton?!?!?Bob Pursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595178670595128341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-353414007113084062013-01-29T20:13:26.376-06:002013-01-29T20:13:26.376-06:00Hey!

I actually think that's an early Gene Marshall! Give it another listen and tell me what you think! That's why I consider this an "all-star" song poem 45, since you've got Rodd, what I think is Gene, and definitely Teri!<br /><br />Happy you enjoyed the record, I'll try and send you some of the stuff you asked me about asap! <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
