Full article:

John Rhys Eddings : I had been doing some work for a gentleman in Atlanta, Georgia named Bud Turner. Bud Turner had started a small label in Atlanta and had signed Mr. Alexander to a management contract. Arthur was signed to Dot Records at the time.??It was during that time that I worked with Arthur in the basement of a strip joint called, The Playboy Club. (Not the same as Hugh Hefner's later effort). One day, he played Anna, Go To Him for me on the piano and we cut a rough demo that same day. ??About six months later, I went to Nashville into RCA Studios and recorded one of Arthur's tunes (Ole John Amos) on an artist we had signed in Atlanta named Adam Charles for Dot. The record went nowhere but Arthur will always remain in my heart as one of the nicest gentlemen I have ever had the good fortune with which to work.
