Recordings
The Icemen recorded several singles, but only one of them is known to feature Hendrix. The two tracks on that 45 have also appeared on several LPs (under the titles "She's A Fox" & "Win Your Love") credited solely to Lonnie Youngblood and / or Jimi Hendrix and those later releases also have some different mixes and takes of these songs.
It is possible that the Icemen actually recorded their vocals at a later date over an already finished backing track. For more detail about the sessions see the "Lonnie Younblood backing tracks" -entry.

2 The "R&B Beat" section in the Record World 4 June 1966 -issue reported:
"Johnny Brantley keeps on pushing on "She's A Fox," by The Icemen, and Georgie Woods is on it on WHAT, Phila. and WWIN, Baltimore". The single is also listed on the WJMO (Cleveland, Ohio) "Might Mo's Soul - Survey" -list "FOR THE WEEK OF May 16, 1966" so May 1966 looks like a probable release date. See the Samar Discography for more information.
