i am trying to find out anything about darrell banks. in my spare time i write a lot of fiction and non-fiction. i'd love to write a book about him. all the information i glean from the internet seems to say the same things but i'm sure there is a lot more to say about this underrated singer. i'm fascinated by his songs, his voice and the fact that he left us so early. any help would be really appreciated.

thanks, daryl

Bettye LaVette knew him when he was in Detroit & recording.
I'm not sure that he was her fave person though.

Her husband (Kevin) is a forum member.
If he sees this, he may ask her what she recalls about Darrell & post up it here.

Gone but not forgotten.

Martha Reeves would be a great source for you to interview about D. Banks.

I've enjoyed Darrell's music. I grew up listening to his first handful of songs. I don't know much about his life, except from what I've read on the net and other sites and the inside CD booklet of NS's release of Darrell Banks: The Lost Soul. Thanks to sideburnslim for the link.
