Carolyn Dixon - This Man of Mine (Billups 104), 1964
The Billups record label was based in Dallas, Texas, and possibly featured the involvement of Irvin Russ, who did not only write this particular song but also other songs for the label and even recorded for Billups, too. He also co-wrote songs with James Massey, who also released two singles on the label. Both Massey and Russ also collaborated with local songwirter J.R. Cheatham for songs on his Cheatham record label. Cheatham composed the flip side of this record, "King of the Highway".
Cheatham and Russ produced records in Dallas independently in the 1960s, which they either released on their own or leased the masters to other labels according to Billboard. Billups Record was located on Circlewood Drive on the outskirts of Dallas, Texas, and active from 1962 until around 1965.
There was a Carolyn Dixon who had two released on Little Rock, Arkansas based labels, Luck and Tommy Trent's T Bar T label. If she is the same singer who recorded for Billups is a question still to answer.
