Corsairs (North Carolina)

The North Carolina group (Jay, James & Moses Uzzell) is well documented with few inconsistencies among major sources.  The book listed as a group name only.

  • Sources agree the first Tuff release was ‘Smoky [sic] Places’ bw ‘Thinkin’ (Maybe She’s Changed Her Ways)’ on #1808 in 1961.

 

Releases with split credits are noted.

Corsairs (NC) (ft The Voice Of Jay ‘Bird’ Uzzell) – Time Waits, ’61 (Smash 1715 & Tuff 3027)

Corsairs (NC) (ft The Voice Of ‘King’ Moe Uzzell) – It Won’t Be A Sin, ’61 (Smash 1715 & Tuff 3027)

  • The book only listed the Smash issue but no scans were found for #1715.
  • Scans for Tuff 3027 are readily available and it seems likely it is a reissue with an unknown release date.
