HIB

HIB	1960s Detroit label. HIB was located at 4862 Parker St. in Detroit. Bateman (although already located in NY at the time) teamed up with his old Motown and Correc-Tone colleague, Popcorn Wylie, on a couple of Luther Ingram records (HIB and Smash). Wylie wrote all 3 vocals (also "(I Spy) For The F.B.I." and "Foxy Devil" on Mercury's Smash Records). Wylie probably produced the session in Detroit with Bateman as Executive Producer. Wylie's A-La-King Music shared publishing with Bateman's Brianbert. HIB probably stands for H for Robert's girlfriend at the time!, I for Ingram, and B for Bateman.  Yellow;- Northern Soul plays. Some copies of 698 are Styrene.
