  • Group spellings from various sources include Fidelitones, Fideletones and Fideltones.
  • The Aladdin group involves Freddie Gorman (from Detroit and formerly involved with Sax Kari & The Quailtones), Brian Holland and Sonny Sanders.
    • Holland and Gorman later wrote for Berry Gordy (i.e. Please Mr Postman).
    • Gorman became a member of the 1966-era Originals (not included in the book).

With this capsulated history, it appears unlikely Gorman’s Fidelitones/Fideletones were part of the other two groups.
