She was also very attractive and had a boyfriend who was quite jealous and protective. He wouldn't let her go to rehearsals or to the recording studio without him. This really held her career back, as I know I would have recorded her a lot more if I could have scheduled it. Mary was on my Flame (sic) label, and I produced 'Something For You Baby' in 1962."<br />So now you know - but her last name is still a mystery!Pete Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874687919193635.post-1135613290233642232010-12-16T15:07:37.936-08:002010-12-16T15:07:37.936-08:00Interesting record.

The singing style is somewhat similar, and the song itself actually quotes Johnson's 1960 release, "Callin' All Boys", musically and lyrically.<br /><br />I'm not sure what the [CA] stands for in the listing for her other record, posted above. But both of Mary B's records are on labels owned or associated with Bobby Robinson out of NYC [I'm fairly certain Fling was owned by Robinson's brother, that's why it doesn't show up in list's of Robinson's labels].ana-bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918502866288050783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874687919193635.post-70065340361283330082010-12-16T11:24:09.389-08:002010-12-16T11:24:09.389-08:00simply a typo on my part.
