The function of a microphone amplifier is to elevate the microphone's signal enabling it to feed a mixer or recorder at standard line level.
As long as the level on the VU meter is proper, there should be no concern as to the setting of these controls.
We believe now, as in the past, that the audio recorded signal should be as close to the original sound as technically possible.

The recording of Cameo was plagued with difficulties.
Paul Howes notes that "Beautiful Soul" is "a declaration appropriate to the period in Dusty's life when the recording was made." He goes on to say that "the song is a statement by a woman to a woman, but Dusty's rendition can also be taken as introspection, the reflections of a lonely and depressed person.
The recording is sublime, though Dusty's vocal is so pained and private it seems almost instrusive to listen to it." (NOTE: In February, 2001, US-based Hip-O Records released all but one of the Longing tracks plus Dusty's 1973 albun Cameo on a single CD entitled Beautiful Soul: The ABC/Dunhill Collection).

In 1969, Donald and Walter, having thus far failed to form a satisfactory band, try to peddle their growing list of songs on Tin Pan Alley, which is to say the Brill Building and 1650 Broadway in midtown Manhattan.
Nothing much happens with the songs, but the Americans employ them as musicians (keyboard and bass) in their touring band and as player/arrangers in the recording studio.
This rich work, one of the first major pop releases to use the new digital recording technology, also draws an Album of the Year nomination at the Grammy awards and wins France's coveted Grand Prix du Disques.

This was The Tams first national hit record, bringing them into the households of millions through a tremendous amount of airplay.
Walkin' Dr. Bill - Officially recorded by "The Tams (with G.C. Cameron)," this was a duet with the former lead singer of The Spinners singing much of the lead.
The final Tams hit in the UK was "My Baby Sure Can Shag." Unfortunately for The Tams, all of the songs released in England were under their original contract with Bill Lowrey; this meant that The Tams never received one penny of royalties for the millions of records they sold in the UK (and Europe).

His early recordings on ABC/Dunhill didn't see commercial success, but his vocal range from baritone to falsetto was compared to The Bee Gees and The Beach Boys while his songwriting won comparisons to Randy Newman and Brian Wilson.
Switching to CBS Records, and then to Capitol Records, Henry saw later releases (with Cashman and West, and then Bobby Columby, among the producers) winning critical praise but not attracting album buyers.
In recent years, Gross has continued to record (he is president of his own label, Zelda Records) and to tour.

 The Four Tops
One of Motown's most consistent hitmakers and its longest lived lineup (40 years), the Four Tops were the most stable and consistent vocal groups to emerge from Motown Records in the '60s, charting with scores of upbeat love songs featuring Levi Stubbs' rough hewn lead vocals.
They then went to Red Top and Riverside before they were signed by John Hammond to Columbia in 1960 where they recorded "Ain't That Love." This was the first of a string of supper club style flops that lasted for seven years on a number of labels.
However, the Tops did record a number of adventurous and successful records with other Motown producers, including "River Deep, Mountain High," with the Jean Terrell led Supremes (#14 pop, #7 RandB, 1970) and "Still Water" (#11 pop, #4 RandB, 1970.
