Al & Nettie. Vocal duo, Bay Area rockers: Al King = Alvin Smith = Al Smith  and Nettie ???.  Between 1958 and 1962 they recorded three teen-rock singles, for different labels, all tracks composed by McCracklin & Geddins, 1st single on Christy with Al Smith Orchestra, 2nd single on Gedinson's, 3rd single on Art-Tone. The A-side of this single, Now You Know - Part 1, is the same recording as the B-side of the 2nd single, Now You Know. Label times on both singles are wrong, Now You Know - Part 1 is erroneously credited to Al & Nettie & Nat Hendrix Band. This track has been recorded with J. McCracklin Band ft. Bob Geddins Jr. on Organ, as correctly credited on Gedinson's. Only the B-side of Art-Tone single, Now You Know - Part 2, has been recorded w. Nat Hendrix Band.
