-No One to Love Me

-Early Sunday Morning  

from Marv Goldberg's notes:  

Like many New Orleans acts, they landed a contract with Aladdin Records. On November 23, 1952, in a Sunday morning session, they recorded four songs at the local J&M studio (at 838 North Rampart Street), owned by the legendary Cosimo Matassa. The lead was supposed to have been James "Sugar Boy" Crawford, but he'd strained his voice at an appearance the night before. Thus, Edgar "Big Boy" Myles took over (with Sugar Boy doing the recitations).

The songs they recorded were "You Made Me Love You," "No One To Love Me," "Feeling Sad," and "Early Sunday Morning." Listen to Sugar Boy's talking part on "No One To Love Me"; you may think that he's putting a lot of emotion into it, but it's really barely-disguised choking. It's not hard to tell that his voice is strained.

Aladdin released "No One To Love Me"/"Early Sunday Morning" in December 1952. The platter was reviewed on April 4, 1953 (both sides "good"), along with Rufus Thomas' "Bear Cat," Scatman Crothers' "Papa (I Didn't Treat That Little Girl Mean)," Dolly Cooper & 4 the Buddies' "I'd Climb The Highest Mountain," Little Esther & Bobby Nunn's "You Took My Love Too Fast," the 5 Crowns' "Alone Again," the Marylanders' "Fried Chicken," and Little Mr. Blues' "Mama, Your Daughter Plays It Cool."
