Just found this, will be listed for sale soon.

Kind of an interesting story behind this record. The People’s Choice were a soul group from Grand Rapids, Michigan who played in the late 60s-early 70s soul circuit on the west side of the state. There was a huge garage rock scene going on there, centered around legendary label Fenton, but there was a handful of good soul groups, including Motown recording artists The Velvelettes, and a girl group from Battle Creek called The Camaros who’s lone 45 on Dar-Cha We’re Not Too Young/Lover Come Back still stands as the most expensive record (and perhaps rarest) we’ve ever found.

The People’s Choice enjoyed some success and put out one 45 on tiny Grand Land and four more on Palmer. The group also can lay claim to briefly having Al Green as their lead singer. This info comes via a thread on funkandsoul.blogspot.com by commenter Aaron Anderson (who also contributes in the West Michigan Soul pages in the very resourceful Grand Rapids Rocks!  site):

Re: Palmer James and Al Greene

Palmer James and his high school friend (and bandmate), Curtis Rodgers discovered Al Green. Al was working at a fish fry on Wealthy street in Grand Rapids, Mi, when he was approached by the two entrepreneurs who were hoping to replace the lead singer of the People’s Choice (the Palmer label People’s Choice, not the Phil-la-of-Soul one) who had recently left the group while on tour. Al did, in fact, fill in for a few shows, but Palmer and Curtis immediately recognized his potential as a solo artist and pulled him from the group. As a result, the People’s Choice broke up, though they would eventually reform under the direction of P&C w/ new players and vocalists. The revamped People’s Choice cut one single on the Wood City label (”Destruction” b/w “Offspring”, the only single on the label) and then disbanded.

I’ll try to dig up some more info on People’s Choice, for now have a listen to the Wood City sides:
