Edward Nelson
R&B/Soul
A.k.a. Apple (19)
Edward Apple Nelson is best known for the small clutch of 45s he released under the Apple & The Three Oranges name on local Los Angeles labels in the 1970s. He first found credit as Apple on a Marie Franklin single released on disc jockey Douglas Moore s Stage Music imprint. He would engage Moore to issue Free & Easy, the 1st record released as Apple & The Three Oranges. This rapid development from road hog to recording artist inspired him to found Sagittarius Records, named after his zodiac sign. His run with Sagittarius contains 6 unimpeachable soul and funk numbers released under the Apple & The Three Oranges banner and one issued under his own name, Ed Nelson. These songs, and his prior recordings, are ripe for a historical reappraisal. Nelson s master tapes lost in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina will never surface to right this wrong. & the records themselves are rare: the Love Brings Out The Best Of You, Curse Upon The World & I ll Give You A Ring (When I Come, If I Come) singles are amongst the most sought after & expensive Los Angeles soul and funk records to ever list at auction.
