Don Renaldo later used track for his release Stringin' Along on his own imprint RAN Records.


Sharisma was a group out of  Wilmington, Delaware that worked with Emandolynn music from 1969-1970. After meeting at a show in Wilmington where they were opening for Teddy Pendergrass, they traveled to Philadelphia later to record with Manny Campbell. They completed a few songs in hopes of completing a album of original material. Before they could complete album recorded at Sigma Sound studios, the group disbanded due to lead singers being drafted in military and returning to Vietnam War. Recorded at world famous
Sigma Sounds studio w/ backing musicians The Trammps.

The Delights were a group with two being Manny Campbell's cousins, brothers Kemp ‘Toppy' Hill (the eldest) and Ellis Hill, their cousin Jaime Hill plus a teenage friend of theirs. The lead singer and only female member of the group was Brandi ‘Peaches’ Wells, (Brandi Wells was later best known for her hit song in the 80’s Watch Out ). With a family connection to Manny Campbell it was inevitable that they would feature on some of his production sessions, including @thenurons All Of My Life and I'm A Loner being a couple of them. During the mid 1970's The Delights did go on to record and release a few 45's for the Phil-L.A Of Soul Label. (It's As Simple As That/Things Ain't What They Used To Be)
