Searchin

Thanks to Darryl Bullock's latest post, I do known now that this tiny Power record label was located in Jonesboro, Arkansas.  This, hum, is the song made famous by The Coasters in 1957. 


"I do not search, I find" said one day Pablo Picasso or Einstein (or both?, but not at the same time).  Well, I can tell you, they certainly never searched for Karen Fellows, otherwise I will able to give you some interesting details, such as who were her parents, where she was born, who was her voice coach, etc.
