Jerry Ashley & the Dynamics Unlimited Rose 45 Don't Tell Me WhyJerry Ashley recorded for two related Atlanta, Georgia labels, Rose and Gaye.

The Dynamics Unlimited backed Jerry Ashley for his single on Rose 2091, “Don’t Tell Me Why” / “Come to Me”, two originals by Ashley also published by Margie Music.

The Dynamics Unlimited had their own 45 on the Rose Records label, “The Tide Rises” / “Baby Let’s Wait” on Rose 2890.

Jerry Ashley Gaye 45 Come OnJerry Ashley had a second single on Gaye Records 3044 from late ’67 or 1968, an upbeat party record with sing-along vocals, shouts and screams called “Come On”, backed with an instrumental version of the same song. This too was a Jerry Ashley composition for Margie Music and though the PO Box on the label is slightly different, there’s a striking similarity to the Rose label design.

I’d appreciate any additional info about Jerry Ashley or the Rose and Gaye Records labels.

Thank you to Mark Taylor for the scans of the Jerry Ashley 45s on Rose and Gaye.
