Zoot, I sent an email to Steve. His agent acknowledged the email and indicated that he forwarded it on to Steve.
One aspect that I wanted to restate; the tone that I am referring to in my initial question is the Little Richard, Fats Domino and Shirley & Lee sound. I never heard Lee Allen in his latter days and he did not, for whatever reasons, in my opinion, get that same drive and tone on his own LP. I like "Walking with Mr. Lee" but his roof raising solos on the session hits are what caught our attention in the mid 50s. What took place in that studio to cause such a fantastic r&b sound with the entire band for that matter!
