- As/ the info @ https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/322029-ive-been-taken-for-a-ride-saints-bobby-st-james-uptones/, there is a second lead voice & a more ‘cluttered’ chorus on the ‘Saints’ version.
Note: The Swallows/ Guides/ Senders associations with the Uptones are connected through Stan Beverly, Yatsey (Yancey/Yancy) Millsap, through label, song writers and assorted group member assemblages for the various group names.
- As/ Marv Goldberg’s Hollywood Saxons article (http://uncamarvy.com/HollywoodSaxons/hollywoodsaxons.html) the Uptones were formerly the ‘Senders’ on Kent & Entra.
