I more or less stated that in my previous email. The reason I sent this 
alone was because I forgot to add the link in the previous one. I found 
a few of the songs on Youtube. The first 2 sound like your Pearls. The 
Lamp 653 has a strong female presence with a male lead.
Unbelievable that the eras of the groups overlap.

I found a web site that lists a lot of pearls recordings and seems to
make a distinction between 2 sets. When I found some of them on Youtube,
etc, the group that is called the "Fabulous Pearls" is male, But a
number on Lamp 653, "Shooting High" is a girl backup with a male lead.

Interesting reading here about the "Fabulous Pearls" ( all male group
from Detroit). Did Baby Cortez' "Happy Organ" hit the fast wax?
Arranger used to work for Erskine Hawkins...

Here's the flip
"Can I call you Baby"

Not to be confused with...
