I recently picked up two seven inch singles by Shelton Walks. One is No Money No Friend on the Giant label, circa 1975. The second is Trouble In The Ghetto, released on Mighty Cloud. Both are great tunes. I saw in another thread he also has a song called "Pain In My Belly". Does anybody know anything about this singer? Know of any other songs?

Thank you.

he had a few singles on Mighty Cloud (and also on other labels ): Faitful & true, Why can't I ? , come and get yourself some,your my girl, let's do it together...

I think he was the singer of a group called the Splendors, and is sometimes called Shelly Walks. I have a wonderful tune called "Ital Skank" by him.

I have a 7" called "One Of Us Will Weep" from 1975 by 'Shelton Walker'. Presume it's the same guy.

Thanks to all.
