SWEET SOUL SHAKIN' - THE YOUNGHEARTS

Here's a very rare album provided for your listening enjoyment by my partner in crime...soul collector SCAVENJAH.

This is the Young Hearts first album, released on the heels of "I've Got Love for My Baby," a mid-tempo love song featuring Ronnie Preyer's falsetto, and James Moore's tenor/baritone swapping lead lines. Charles Ingersoll and Earl Carter rounded out the quartet. An earlier release, the lilting "Oh I'll Never Be the Same" received considerable R&B play, but didn't register Pop, it was co-written by Anita Poree who went on to greater things at Motown. "Sweet Soul Shakin'," led by Ingersoll, followed "I've Got Love . . .," and had a stampeding tempo but didn't generate much interest. Their first Minit release "A Little Togetherness" is a floater advocating peace that they recorded twice, another version credited to them, and popular among Northern Soul lovers, has a completely different arrangement than this one. They mellow down on "Misty," but explode on "Countdown (Here I Come)" an uptempo romper. Every member leads at least one song, that's Moore crooning "Girls." This LP is virtually impossible to find, with far less interesting stuff being reissued on CD, these tracks surely merits reissuing.
