Joe St. Clair was actually Joe Grieshop, a
ReplyDeletesongwriter and publisher from around the Cincinnati area for over 40 years. This was probably his own label because the numbering system appears to be the same that he used years later when he founded the Acorn label. The 1 would be the first release of the year and the 48 would be the
year, 1948. Red Long Fingernails surfaced again on the Acorn label in 1963 by the Acorn Sisters. Joe also had at least one
release on that label. He wrote "Roses Have Thorns", "Blue Tennessee Rain", "Where Will I Shelter My Sheep" and many others. He was also artist manager for Kenny Roberts, the Acorn Sisters, Jimmie Williams, and Arnie Lunsford.
Do you or anyone else know of any other releases on the Song Plugger label?
This is the only release on the label that I have ever come across.
ReplyDeleteBoth sides were released by Joe St. Clair ("The Cowboy of the Air") on Bullet 669 and reviewed by Billboard on November 20, 1948.
ReplyDeleteKenny Roberts, by the way, is still around and living in Greenbrier, Tenn., outside of Nashville.
