PAPER MAN / FALSE ALARMS

Paper ManAE is a major discovery for lovers of Sam DeesAE music and the Atlanta/Birmingham soul sound of the 70s. Written and recorded in that productive period, it has only just been found in the vault of Moonsong / Clintone recordings. Sam Dees worked with Alpaca Phase III for the Atlantic release aeI Like To PartyAE in 1974 and a Clintone release the following year. He co-wrote this ballad with Wes Lewis and Ken Walker from the group (he also composed aeSomeone To Run ToAE with Wes Lewis and group member Berry Collins). Dees is the vocalist on aeFalse AlarmsAE, one of several brilliant Dees compositions first released on his oSecond To Noneo Kent CD in 1995. With oso tied upo being such an important lyric in this song, it is conceivable that it is a forerunner of aeSo Tied UpAE which featured on his Atlantic LP at this time'
