laviolet 1st Sep 2019		The Sha-Weez' sole single release is noted for its rarity and for Sugar Boy's weeping monologue on "No One To Love Me" (Big Boy Myles did the singing part). Two other tracks from the session, a cover of Guitar Slim's "Feelin' Sad" and a group original "You Made Me Love You," were first issued on a 1968 Imperial LP. All four tracks appeared with Sugar Boy's Imperial sides on a 1985 LP from EMI France as earlier noted.



laviolet 16th Apr 2019		Billboard review, April 4. 1953, p. 28: "Early Sunday Morning": The Sha-weez, new group on the label, come thru with a sock reading of a strong ballad, backed with a hefty beat by the ork. The group sings well and has a good commercial sound. This side could be a coin-grabber with exposure. Watch it. "No One to Love Me": The Sha-weez turn in an effective performance on this side, but the material is much weaker than the flip.



laviolet 6th Jan 2015		Thanks, fixbutte. All four Sha-Weez titles were also reissued in 1985 with Sugar Boy's Imperial sides on an LP from Pathe Marconi EMI. I own a copy and have posted it in Vinyl Albums. The Imperial LP, the first release for the other songs, came in 1968.



fixbutte 5th Jan 2015		Although the mainly precise Marv Goldberg reports the release month Dec 1952, this is almost certainly not true. Not only the Billboard review is from Apr 4, 1953 (page 28) but also the Aladdin advert shown on Marv Goldberg's page announces this record together with Aladdin 3175 (by The Five Keys) and 3174 (by Maxwell Davis) which were both released in March 1953 (the advert is taken from Billboard issue of March 28, 1953, page 43). Anyway, both sides were recorded at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studios, New Orleans, on Nov 23, 1952, with two other sides ("You Made Me Love You", "Feeling Sad") that were only issued some years later on an Imperial LP and on a bootleg 45.



laviolet 1st Jan 2015		The Sha-Weez formed at Booker T. Washington High School in the Central City neighborhood of New Orleans about 1950. The best known member is James "Sugar Boy" Crawford (1934-2012), famous for "Jock-a-Mo" ("Iko Iko"). Edgar "Big Boy" Myles (1933-1984) was the only other member to make records; his brother Warren was also in the group. They recorded one session for Aladdin in 1952, from which only these two tracks were released at the time. Big Boy Myles sings "No One To Love Me" and Crawford does the weeping monologue at the end. For more, see Marv Goldberg's profile and Sugar Boy's obituary.
