Heat And Hot Water Supplied

Chippewa Music, BMI

 

Tomorrow 45/CW-02 

Pressed by Columbia Custom from 1963.  William K. Benintente wrote the lyrics and Barron A. Donaldson the music.  Diskery was based in Cranford, New Jersey.  If it wasn't for the owner of Chippewa Music (Donaldson) who took care to file a copyright for the label design, I wouldn't be able to describe it. Just in case you want to know:

Chippewa; today's hit sounds are
found on Tomorrow records. [Arrow,
tepees & clouds; futuristic form] 

Barron A. Donaldson in 1956

Kitty Stevenson (1918-1952)

Born in Thompson, Georgia, Kitty Stevenson came to Detroit in 1929. She started out as a dancer and her first singing job in Detroit with Lorenzo Lawson at Lee's Sensation. Under the management of Al Green she toured widely in 1950 and 1951.  Kitty Stevenson was known as the "Blues Bombshell" in her brief career.  Her son is Motown producer & songwriter Mickey Stevenson

Vitacoustic recording from December 1947.  Vitacoustic was a Chicago independent, associated with the up-and-coming Universal Recording operation. It collapsed into bankruptcy in less than a year, amid nasty management disputes, after investing heavily in recorded material that would never see release.  [...] Because it spent freely on Billboard ads, and its riches-to-rags story attracted a lot of coverage, the company's story is much better documented in contemporary sources than was usual for small labels.

notes:

1) Date & label of original issue of Voodoo Mama are uncertain : 1958 or 1959 or 1961 on Fine or on Terock. The only sure thing, is it was recorded in Buffalo (New York) by Dixie Dee, otherwise known as Rich Derwald.
