The Score label

1001 The Bossmen

A - (Stewed Bird) & Mashed Potatoes (Dub Stewart, Shish-Kebab, BMI)
B - Bad Boss Man (Jesse Perales, Acquarius, ASCAP), instrumental

Originally from Texas, these Bossmen relocated to Chicago. The Score and Busy Bee labels were owned by Lenny LaCour. He would later be involved in the Milwaukee scene, which had led to the erroneous assumption that this group hailed from there. Some of their 45s are powerful rockers and two examples, I'm Ready and Fever Of Love, can be heard on Highs In The Mid-Sixties, Vol. 5 (LP) and Highs In The Mid Sixties, Vol. 6 (LP) respectively.

Correction (Thanks Steve) :

The two records below were originally (but erroneously) included in the Bob-O-Link label discography (these records are listed in my copy of the McGrath R&B Indies discography, first edition).

They were issued actually on the Boogie label and there is no relation to Norty Beckman.

« Little Rock » (published by Teenager Music) is in the bouncy rock and roll groove.
