According to Living Blues Magazine 2/1971 and contrary to Living Blues 3/1970 & Leadbitter-Slaven's Blues Records 1943-1966, the single "Boss Bag" / "Little John" (Soft 1003, 1966) by Sammie (Little John) Myers is by an entirely different artist. In addition, this same Sammie Myers also
played the organ on the following 1966 recordings by Gene Summers: "The Clown" / "Green-Eyed Monster" (Charay 47/Mercury 72606), "The Loser" / "Look Alike Baby" (Soft 1005), "The Loser" / "Sweet Thing" (Soft 1005).
The backing track of "You Don't Have To Go" (Fury 1035) was also used for Buddy Skipper's "Baby Please" (Fury 1062).

There is some disrepancy in written accounts concerning the Elmore James sessions that Sam Myers may had attended.
Most of the songs listed above are also issued on numerous Elmore James albums like "The Sky Is Crying" (Fire LP 102, -60), "The Sky Is Crying" (Sphere Sound SSR-7002, -65), "I Need You" (Sphere Sound SSR-7008, -66), "Whose Muddy Shoes" (Chess LP 1537, -69), "Elmore James" (Bell LP 6037, -69), etc. In all probability Myers plays drums and harmonica* on recordings done at the Cosimo Recording Studios, New Orleans in Summer of 1961 although King Mose Taylor has also been credited to be a drummer of this session:
