This soulful vocal trio from Baltimore, USA, formed in 1969 and consisted of Billy Herndon (lead), Garnett Jones (tenor) and Gerald "Chunky" Pinkney (baritone). The trio first came to national prominence in 1970 on A&I Records. They then joined Sylvia Robinson's Stang label and recorded some of the most underrated R&B vocal group records of the early 70s; including "We're Friends By Day (Lovers By Night)", "Please Make The Love Go Away" and their biggest US success "I'll Erase Away The Pain." The group also recorded with other Stang artists including Linda Jones and the Moments. It was "Girls", that teamed them with the Moments, and gave them a UK number 3 hit in 1975. The group also had limited success with releases on GSF in 1973 and Harlem International in 1982.

GOOD CHOICE G-MAN....ONE OF MY FAVORITES...THIS GROUP WAS VERY UNDERRATED IN MY EYES
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts 2...their record label should have got out there and pushed for them a little harder...they had a lot of sweet music that most people never uncovered.
