The Tom - Emmanuel & Ron Experience [196?] - Why (The Knower) / When You Lose Your Groove [Golden Three R-7000]

I came across this 45 whilst looking for Ronnie McCain's song with the same title.  

This appears to be the only release by artist and label.  Emmanuel is Juan Emmanuel Amalbert, a jazz percussionist from Harlem.  I've no idea who Tom or Ron are. 

Both were recorded in New York late 60s - so could it be the same song as Ron McCain? Could Ron be Ron McCain?  The writer credits on the 'Groove' side states J.B. (no publisher  on label) but on Ron McCain side is J. Cullen & D. Stokes by CullDon Music so perhaps a different song.  In any case it is worthy of a post.

Juan Amalbert recorded several jazz albums between 1960-1971 as member of Latin Jazz Quintet, one of its members was Tommy Derrick who 'may' be Tom in Tom - Emmanuel & Ron Experience?
