THIS HEART OF MINE, The Turks, (Bally, 1017) 1956 Flipside: WHY DID YOU Here is another really great unknown ballad from my music collection. This Turks group hailed from Los Angeles, CA. Group members were Gaynel Hodge (lead), Delmer Wilburn (1st tenor), Jody Jefferson (2nd tenor, baritone) and Gaynels brother Alex Hodge (bass). The Hodges mother, Katherine Hodge, was their manager THIS HEART OF MINE was written and produced by producer, songwriter, record label owner George Motola. He is probably best known for cowriting Jesse Belvin s GOODNIGHT MY LOVE. George Motola also coowned Empire Records and had over 120 songs published by BMI. He has written and produced for many Los Angeles vocal groups (The Turks, The Tempters, The Preludes just to name a few. ) He did most of his cowriting with his wife, Ricki Page who also had her own successful singing career. Enjoy this really great unknown ballad THIS HEART OF MINE by The Turks with Gaynel Hodge singing lead. This is West C
