This caught my eye as the label was located in North Miami, Florida. I couldn't come up with any substantial information on Verna May, therefore we focus on the label.
Twin Record Productions was a label active in the 1960s and 1970s. A division of Bill Stith's Trip Universal from North Miami, it was also associated with Stith's "Great World of Sound" (GWS) imprint. Stith was a musician, songwriter, and producer originally from Cincinnati, who was operating several labels and companies during the 1960s and 1970s. He also released a few singles under his own name.
Arranger of this disc was William George "Bud" Reneau, who was a songwriter, producer, and record label owner. Reneau was involved with Stith's business as well as operating his own Saxony label with Paul Trefzger in Cincinnati. He wrote several hit songs and produced/arranged records for Musicor, Nugget, Jamie, among others. Doyle Marsh, who is the co-writer of Verna May's "Mama Call Me Home", often wrote songs with Reneau.
The Twin Record Productions label first came onto the scene in 1968 and had more than 100 releases. It lasted at least until 1973.
