	Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator	I'm trying to find out something about a 1962 girl group, possibly black, that had a 1962 release on Warner Brothers. The group is called The Pearls and the songs are Happy Over You (Leo McCorkle) b/w If I Had a Choice (McCorkle/ Henry). A 45 was issued on Warner Brothers in the USA on catalogue #5300. In the Philippines this made it on 78 in late 1962 -- same catalogue number. -- I have posted it here: http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/w5300 Other details -- The group was 'under the supervision of Stan Applebaum. The record is 'A GPB production Arranged by Bert Keyes'. The writer, Leo McCorkle, is a New York musician who is known among Northern Soul fans for his songs and productions as well as a release on Popside records called Please Send me a Somebody Else in 1967. Appaently his full name was William Leo McCorkle. The 'Henry on the flip is a K. Henry who co-wrote a Crystals lp track called Frankenstein Twist. Stan Appelbaum is well known for arrangements from Glenn Miller to Ben E King as well as stuff on Cameo and Parkway All that said -- I can't find anything about the group The Pearls. Its not a 50s R&B group and not the 70s girl group from the UK as far as I know
