Sylvia Robinson, who ran Sugarhill Records, didn't pay her acts either.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Charlie produced half of Pebbles's debut album. "Take Your Time" and "Do Me Right" were both him in addition to "Mercedes Boy."

Again, interesting cool thanks

I never explored that much into Pebbles' discography. The only album which i purchased so far is "Straight From My Heart" (1995)

One of their most underrated songs. I have the 12 inch version of this song and it's

awesome. Can't believe this song didn't catch onto radio well. I used to play

the hell out of the first side of this album. Wednesday Lover was tough too.

Good to know that there's a maxi-single from that song thumbs up! I never knew, though i have another song from

that album on cd-single. I'll have to re-check for that title and also for "Wednesday Lover", thanks for reminding.

Another slight detail which i noticed is that brothers Ronnie and the late Robert never rocked the jheri-curl which Charlie did during the popular days of that doo, lol.

Robert had a his hair more weaved on the album from 1984 and in the videos of the "Round Trip" album, he and Charlie had let it grow quite much.
