The long awaited Kent CD "This Is It! · More From The Van McCoy Songbook 1962-1977" came popping through the letterbox at Chez Roger last Saturday.

I've just added songwriter credits to the already existing entry for this but I see that when Doctor Doom entered the original details he (probably perfectly correctly) used the names of the performers as they appear on 45Cat …. so we have Bobby Reed [soul], Kenny Young [Share] and Bill Harris [soul] listed as Artists.

Needless to say, previous entries of CD tracks by these artists (more often than not done by me) haven't been doing this … so we now have three "duplicated" artists and I think I need to "Hustle" the mods to tidy this up.

Starting with Bobby Reed we have these CD tracks, all of which apart from the one on the "Teen Town USA" CD will be "Bobby Reed (soul)"

With Bill Harris both the existing CD entries are "Bill Harris [soul].

And then there is Kenny Young [Share], there are no existing CD entries for "Kenny Young", but according to Tony Rounce's booklet notes he was the same person who recorded "What Difference Does It Make" as Kenny Shepard which does appear here on this Goldmine CD so these two artists should be linked.

Funnily, over at 45Cat they have yet to make the connection between Kenny Young [Share] and Kenny Shepard so perhaps these should be linked at the same time.

The fun and games continue in The Vinyl LP World where Bill Harris [soul] has his two Van McCoy produced tracks as "Bill Harris" and confused with a Jazz artist on a Verve LP and where "You Are" by Bobby Reed [soul] is put simply as "Bobby Reed". Rather amusingly there are two other tracks by "Bobby Reed" on LPs called "The Usual Suspects" who could be by the same person but I'm not 100% …. oh the irony!!!! :smile:
