Note: Elia And Michele Clark, ‎aka "The Clark Kids," a now forgotten sub-chapter of "modern calypso." Michele "Shelly" Clark-White is still the music business and married to Earth, Wind & Fire bassist Verdine White.

Several tunes were cowritten by American educator Sylvia Perry founder of the music education services company Peripole, Inc. now in Salem, OR. She's also the mother of Richard Perry who has produced everybody from Ella Fitzgerald to Rick James.
