It Aun't Right


Lee Sharpton
Writer : Roy Sharpton

Shoals Record Company
806 George Wallace Blvd
Tuscumbia, Alabama


All I can find is that Lee Sharpton composed two songs for Tim Sharpton (her son?) which were issued at an unknown date on Shoals Music.   
 
Tuscumbia is one of four municipalities known as the Quad Cities, the others being Florence, Sheffield and Muscle Shoals, all in Alabama.   So Muscle Shoals Music it is !

Each Little Bit Helps

Horace Whatley, Acuff-Rose

Larco
Louisiana Record Co.
Pineville, Louisiana
1956

 
I'm sorry to say that nothing is known of the singer or of this Larco label.  But there is some good news for the Pineville residents or its visitors  :
Pineville had long been a fully dry city with no alcohol available legally in the community.     Liquor is now available in Pineville, according to a special vote held in 2013,  first in restaurants since January 1, 2014.
