Kids who sing 1 (from Ben)

Thanks to the efforts of the amazing Numero Group
our knowledge of apocryphal record companies and recording artists is mushrooming in dark damp crawlspaces. 

1969
Southside, Chicago
Arrow Brown runs the Brown Productions (also known as Bandit) record concern out of his 2-storey home. It's a cultish Jackson family.  Arrow is the Sultan, the Czar, the President.  He's heavy handed, a bit violent.  And so many girls. "Daughters" of Arrow Brown. 
But the man had a son.  And the son got in on his dear dad's act. Iceberg Slim could have written this.

Altyrone Deno Brown records two singles (that we know of) at the age of seven.  Press calls him Chicago's Lil' Michael Jackson. 
He isn't.
This don't look good.
And then Brown's top singer got thrown off a building.
Would Brown wish his son to be Michael Jackson now?
