Stone Coal White...talk about holy grail! haha...Creations Unlimited, dope as I don't know what...that was on the Soul Kitchen label, right? I also liked the Chantells on that same label...I never knew Purple Image was from Ohio, and is Sir Stanley the one who did that "Sputnik" record? You have a great list...I need to check all of it out!

"Sputnik" is Sidney Owens.

Hmmm. Wow. That's funny, cause Bootsy Collins was actually in a group called the House Guests first, and they were mentioned earlier in the thread.
