The 'La Dellics' [196?] - I'll Never Change (My Love For You) [Mo-Jo MJ 3001]

The only release by group and label.  No clues on label as to release date or origin.  Ricky Music and writers Joe Simmons and J. Ryan are the only hints so I would guess that this is a self-released 45.

There are several Joe Simmons listed on Discogs active mid / late 60s . One of them who wrote Feelin' The Pain for Diane & The Watchamacallits on Speed records NY in 1968 which was mainly a latin / boogaloo label and You Got Too Much Going For You for Jimmy Beaumont on Bang in 1966 which has I Never Loved Her Anyway on flip. Another wrote Vicki Baines Country Girl on Parkway in 1966 and another wrote a B side Ups And Downs for Esther Phillips on Atlantic in 1966.  Could they all be the same writer?

Checking BMI Joe Simmons is linked to Ricky Music Jersey City and he did indeed write all the titles above Joe Simmons BMI Repertoire.  However the flip side 'Got To Be Away' is listed as 'Gotta Be A Way' (different song?) which does not credit J. Ryan but Mike Lewis and Leo McCorkle - so perhaps the La Dellics version is a different interpretation by J. Ryan who may have been a group member as I can't find any BMI credits for this title.

I would imagine that this is quite a rare records as only one has ever sold on Discogs in 2015 for £53 in Poor condition and a quick look on Popsike there are only 4 listed. it looks like the same one was listed twice in Sep 2018 and then again in Dec 2018 so perhaps buyer didn't pay the £851 winning bid and it was relisted and sold next time for £675.

This track was recently (Sep 2019) issued on a compilation Sweet Soul Baby 2 - Rare And Hard To Find Soul 45s on LSRA

Sweet soul group harmony / crossover

I would guess that this was released late 60s but may be early 70s.  It sits squarely in that 1967-73 crossover period.  I can't quite make out whether the the lead singer is female or a teenage boy i'd lean towards the latter.
