I would like to get opinions here as to what you feel
would be the correct artist assignment for the song "Mockingbird" by Inez Fox. The DJ 45's were issued with no mention of Charlie Foxx and many of the commercial 45's listed simply Inez Fox but later pressings state "Inez Foxx" and below the comment "accompaniment by Charlie Foxx". Yet to this day most industry professionals say "Inez & Charlie Foxx". Personally my vote is to not include Charlie Fox in the artist credit as "accompaniment by anyone" does not merit official artist credit. The new "Hard To Find Jukebox Classics - stereo explosion Volume 4" does give artist credit to Inez & Charlie Foxx. So what is your vote on this issue? |

In my record store, we filed them as a duo, 'Charlie & Inez Foxx'. I saw some imports come in as 'Inez &
Charlie Foxx', but I didn't think it had the same ring to it, if you know what I mean. -Bill. |

My copy must be a later pressing because it includes
"accompaniment by Charlie Foxx". ISTR both artists being mentioned even back in 1963, maybe not consistently but at least on some stations. |

I'm curious as whether the other Hot 100 & Bubbling
Under charting hits of Inez (& Charlie) are actually true duets like "Mockingbird" is. If most of the other charters predominantly feature Charlie, than I would consider them a real, regular recording team and thusly 'Foxx, Inez & Charlie'. Just my perspective; feel free to comment! Andy |

I should add that regarding the tray card credit on
"Stereo Explosion Vol 4" we only listed both of them based on an internal vote. It was merely that we had all seen them both credited in many places and we felt it was quite obviously a duet. But we certainly don't consider our CD tray card credit to be "official" in any way. My opinion is for the "official" credit, it should be whatever is in the Whitburn books and that is Inez Foxx alone, with brother Charlie only mentioned as a credit below the title (like the later 45 pressings).

Calling records "vinyls" is like calling people "fleshes".
