See also    the "sister" label, also founded by the famous Holland-Dozier-Holland hitmaker trio.

NOTES:In the number sequence, the first 2 digits are the year of release! Singles with "HS" prefix distributed by Buddah Records.
In 1976 Hot Wax changes distribution to CBS/Columbia, with a number sequence change.

For the little story, did you remember that the FLAMING EMBER used to called themselves the "Blue-eyed soul boys from Detroit".
The group was comprising guitarist Joe SLADISH, pianist Bill ELLIS, bassist Jim BUGNEL, and drummer Jerry PLUNK. They first recorded in 1967 for the RIC-TIC label.(
#129 Let's Have A Love In ). Interesting fact is that the group initailly   missed the R&B charts, and encounter succes on the POP charts.

Comments are courtesy of part the "incredible New Orleans's duo" soul man Tom Trenchard.
