- "A top-notch discovery and perfect for the scene" Donald Moore, soul fan Michigan, USA
Hamilton was born in Birmingham, Alabama and moved to East Detroit as a young child. There he later formed the Arabians (including members Clarence McClean, George Goodman, Charles Laird and Robert Tutt). Record label owner and singer, Johnnie "Mae" Matthews gave them their first release "The Shack" on her Northern Label in 1960. Their next stop was the Lanrod label and their first encounter with the influential James Hendrix who issued "My One Possession" on Carrie records. Two tracks recorded for Hendrix were released to James Kemper's New York Label, Le Mans, and although "(Please) Take a Chance on Me" didn't hit at the time, it became a huge collector's item ten years on. After a brief spell with a new Falcons line-up, Hamilton returned to Hendrix, who was then working with Lou Beatty, and was put under Melvin Davis's wing, recording "Call Me" for Carrie records. The track had sufficient potential to go to New York again, this time on the Jameco record label. In 1967 Hamilton reunited with the Arabians and signed for Beatty's Mary Jane label, with Coleman instead of Tutt. The label brought a clutch of excellent sides, all now revered on the Northern Soul and Detroit collectors scenes. Following the closure of La Beat records and subsequently Mary Jane, Hamilton left the music scene to work in the car plants.

BDYW writers
"Sadly, Fred (Bridge) and Richard (Knight) would also have to deal with clerical error at La Beat. "We wrote a song called 'I'm Coming Home' for Edward Hamilton & the Arabians. They made a mistake and called it "Baby Don't You Weep'."
This is was a number of songs which Fred lists as missing from the BMI database. It would be sad to think that they had missed out on royalties for this classic song. SoulfulDetroit

UK Grapevine Records Release GRP 134 (1980)
Grapevine label owner John Anderson struck a licensing deal with Lou Beatty, owner of the La Beat, Mary Jane and Carrie labels. Several of Lou's productions appeared on Grapevine records. BDYW had been bootlegged a year earlier, Grapevine made the decision to place the uptempo dancer "I'm Gonna Love You" on the B-side. "I'm Gonna Love You" had earlier been listed as Eddie Holman's 'Eddie's My Name', which surfaced instead on Grapevine's third album, "This Is Northern Soul' - the last and rarest of the three Grapevine albums, this had suffered from distribution problems.
"Lou Beatty owned a construction company and liquor store in Detroit. I offered him, say, a thousand dollars for the label and got all the records and tapes -- lock, stock and barrel. It was nothing to him anymore. Edward Hamilton made records throughout the 60's and had a local following in Detroit." John Anderson (Sowl Bowl Records)

Some othe original Mary Jane P 1005 A have a label variation with the "Mike Terry" crediting omitted.
The look-alike US bootleg record is plain black and white. The original records have white and red square designs with blue lettering. - Hudba

Hey! Thanks for visiting the channel II.
Many thanks tomovox.
The Marvin track 1969 (VERDI, BEATRICE/HUNTER, IVY JO) appears to me more reminiscent to a Four Tops production.
Just a software hobby to stretch audio/visual video effects.
Keep making your excellent Motown uploads.
Many thanks whitw0rthstreet.
Must have been a great experience for you.

Excellent comment MMM09 - thanks.
Who knows what recording studio this was recorded at in Detroit? Was it partially done at a small studio on Woodrow Wilson and the strings and horns at Golden World on Davidson?
like a lot
Oh yes, when niters were niters KTF
First, great song! It reminds me of Marvin Gaye's "Only A Lonely Man Would Understand" but this one definitely stands all on its own!
Second- your skills are absolutely insane! Do you do production work professionally for an agency or your own comapny? I love the way you focus on a portion of a visual, then pan over to reveal it to be part of a larger montage. The way you've incorporated visuals from "In The Heat Of The Night", club dancers, record labels- you really create art in your vids!
Superb classic Northern Soul tune...and what a brilliant video that perfectly matches the tune! Bravo!! What software do you use to create your video work?
@doctorwalex Hey! thanks for subing.
