If you have any Fred Carson records, do a back-to-back comparasion, it's the same guy. Sometimes, with the right echo, Carson sounds like Gene, especially when Gene goes high and I had just dropped into the track for a moment. This definitely sounds like Fred Carson.

In fact, I had no idea this earlier version existed until now! Rodd is most certainly not the vocalist on this rendition, or on any of the other cuts on this Real Pros ep (except for his somewhat prominent backup vocals on "The Dancer.")Roaratoriohttp://www.roaratorio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-51887508738485822162014-06-25T19:11:14.373-05:002014-06-25T19:11:14.373-05:00A bonanza indeed! Thanks George and Bob!
I agree ...A bonanza indeed! Thanks George and Bob!<br /><br />I agree that it sounds like Gene Marshall, singing higher than usual. Doesn't sound like Rodd at all (on vocal).<br /><br />I'll have to listen again, but I think the "Black Phoenix Blues" on the Rodd album is not this song! Maybe the lyrics are the same, but I don't remember hearing Gene Marshall singing on that album!<br /><br />Thanks again, Bob! (and George!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
