It's been a long time coming for Fred Douglas Shorts who
has 'flirted' with the music business since the 60s singing with
The Visitors (originally The Mists from Kansas
City), Shades Of Brown and then formed
The Master Plan Inc. in the early 70s until they broke up in
1980. They had a verbal contract with Brunswick around 1976 but at
the time Brunswick was in a legal case over payola and none of their
material was released. Two singles were self-released on 'vanity'
labels in 1980 and 1984. In 1986 he had a chance to audition with a band
for Motown in LA but was let down by one of the members not turning up
through fear of flying. More recently his early material was
discovered by Andrew Brearley and his wife Sheila Hernando who formed
Cherries records and cut several new sides with him and an EP and a few
45s have been released on Daptone. Jazzman has released an album of
mainly previously unreleased material and a couple of other albums have
been released on his own Yawls productions label.
An article and some material was posted on Doug Shorts in May 2020 after
he released "Casual Encounter" EP on Daptone titled "The Return Od Doug Shorts on MasterPlan Inc.". Apart from a single, his first new material since then is "Ole School Love" released on 24 Oct 2022.
