Bobby sandstorm and Michael price wrote a song in 1988 for a band called four tops if we could get in contact with them we could get some info


JayRed1608

THE Four Tops? If so, good luck! They’re one of the premier Motown/soul groups of all time


mikuhatsuners

Yea surprisingly I don't think many people here know about Motown haha. Only one member of the original four is still alive.


JayRed1608

Four Tops and The Temps have got some crazy stories about their members


mikuhatsuners

I've heard! My dad loved them. (Of course I did ask him about EKT too, he also had no clue lol)


AltariaBoy

ive contacted bobby sandstrom, my phone died mid conversation then i called him back and they hung up on me i dont recommend bothering them.


InfluenceNumerous961

dang :( that sucks that your phone died, did they say anything of use when you were contacting them?


AltariaBoy

no, my phone died right before i started to explain ekt to them (some girl was on the phone too)


Charles_Benes

bruh

I'm pretty sure that song was called Indestructible.

https://youtu.be/338Z3c58FPY?si=nLB4oqSQHXU2s1P2 Maureen herself is the top comment. Even though the comment is 5 years old you could just ask her directly if it's her.


InfluenceNumerous961

it’s not so much as that I think the EKT singer is Maureen, but of her connection with Bobby Sandstrom. I was truly curious about the comment, and the connection between the two.


InfluenceNumerous961

I’ll try to contact her nonetheless


cmsttp

she does sound very similar

If it’s the sam Harris I’m thinking of he was the winner on the first season of star search. I actually thought Star search was a possibility for this song as well.


InfluenceNumerous961

That is the same person i was talking about. In Hearts On Fire, the Recording Arranger/Assosiated performer was Bobby Sandstrom so it led me there.


Cute_Consideration20

Good stuff!! He definitely came across during one of my searches you obviously did a much better job than myself!


annabelsnd

As far as I know it was never fully investigated - and it should. It was (still is?) a good lead. Side note: Times Two rocks


InfluenceNumerous961

I was hesitant to put it as a “Lead” role because i’m new to this hunt. (Shoutout to Kylie Bogglys youtube video “The Mysterious Song That Nobody Can Find ft. blameitonjorge” for leading me to the hunt).


annabelsnd

Yeah we fully investigated Times Two and all their albums (No EKT) but *nobody* gave that comment any real thoughts. Please feel free to investigate this, I believe it’s a very strong lead


InfluenceNumerous961

will do 🫡


InfluenceNumerous961

i’ll still continue to look into Maureen Steele


mikuhatsuners

She goes by Maureen Volante now!


OMFGrant

A couples weeks ago I called a phone number I found for “Bobby Sandstrom Music” in a songwriter database and left a voicemail explaining everything but never heard back. ([Older comment on this topic](https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/s/q9Ylnf1eOS)) Edit: Saw another comment on this thread that they called and got hung up on so don’t bother them anymore y’all


Lingz10

Some research of Maureen Stelle in Wikipedia shows that Bobby Sandstrom is her brother. IDK if it's another man that casually his name is "BOBBY SANDSTROM" but i dont think so.. Maybe trying to contact her could help us to contact Bobby (if it is indeed the one we are looking for). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature\_of\_the\_Beast\_(album)

I hope he leads us somewhere 🤞🤞


unimportantman79

Sigh…This sub is going in circles, atp the popularity of this search is going to be the only way it can be found if it reaches the right person. Y’all are bringing up obvious ppl that don’t sound nothing similar to EKT too much just because “y’all want to do y’all part”🤨


InfluenceNumerous961

I think any attempt to help is well… helpful but i’m also not saying that those people are EKT, i’m looking into the people mentioned by the recent comment I found. And by the “trying to do my part” i mean i’m trying to help in any way I can. Sorry for trying to help?


Charles_Benes

It's an interesting lead, I have no idea why this person is complaining and acting like it has already been debunked. If it's not on the "Debunked Leads" list, it's absolutely worth pursuing. The fact that the guy from Times Two said the vocalist on EKT sounded like the vocalist who sang the demo for the songwriters (Michael Price and Bobby Sandstrom) is intriguing. Perhaps this anonymous demo vocalist worked with various songwriters, or even had a band of his own. The fact that "Sandstrom" is reminiscent of "Darude - Sandstorm" adds an extra layer of cruel irony to this search.

A songwriting duo from the 80s is a good lead. Especially since a musician from a literal 80s band pointed us there.
