The Ivories were a Chicago trio: Marilyn McThune, Carol Samuel and Angela
Sanford; who met in high school and performed locally as the Simplistics (not
a very inspiring name for three promising students). The girls were signed by
Jerry Butler who recorded them on the Tom Dorsey song "Please Stay". It was
also Butler who renamed the group as the Ivory's, it is thought the name is
derived from 'Mr Ivory', the host of the local Teen Talent show. Butler sold
the master and the contract to Barry Despanza and "Please Stay" was released
on Despanza Records circa 1966. The record performed quite well in Chicago
but the girls were persuaded to cut short their recording career in favour of
their studies. The master was subsequently leased to Wand who failed to
promote their release, attributed to the 'Ivories' and the record sank
without trace.
All time Northern Soul Classics.
Probably the best double-sider ever!
