Thanks to Larry Grogan's blog I have discovered that Billy did do at least one other recording with Johnny Brantley:-
Atlantic 2319 Gate Wesley & Band (Zap Pow!) Do The Batman/?
This Vidalia production features Billy on vocals with a song cashing in on the 60's Batman series. It starts with a crash of thunder and Billy screaming "Batman Baby" and has crunching back beat with plenty of atmospheric "Batman" sounds as the band cooks. Love the stonking horn part - as Billy shouts out.
To be honest Larry does a better description than me and if you pop over to his blog you can listen to the side as well!

ReplyDeleteIanB @ 2 Minutes of Bliss!
the flip on this is "Do the Thing", which is mostly instrumental (& not as good)
ReplyDeleteThere's another Billy Lamont 45, on Bang;
Shake And Jerk / Girls, Girls, Girls
produced & co-written by Gene Redd
Hi Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks for the additional info.
Someone else dropped by the blog and gave me a lead to some excellent material on Billy including a full interview/photos and disco. So I will be posting something on that soon.
Though the Bang 45 is in the discography - billy doesn't talk about it or his involvement with Gene Redd.
