A little about some of these tracks...

01. Kit Kats - Oh My Angel
Were from Philadelphia & played in Northeast Philly bars, "Oh My Angel" was recorded in 1968 and not released in its entirety though it was a club favorite. According to an anonymous source, a tape defect prevented the entire recording from being usable until the late 1990s.

02. Ty Hunter - Lonely Baby
Was first issued on Checkmate in 62 but was licensed to Chess in 63 to become a decent R&B hit and Hunters' biggest solo release. He was once backed up by The Voice Masters,and a member of The Originals & other detroit Grps..I do believe The Voice Masters were his backup on this favorite....
Makes me want to cha-cha-cha everytime I hear it!

03. Trends - Not Too Old To Cry 1965
Not to be confused with the mid-'60s Liverpool/Merseybeat Trends act, Theses were one of the Chicago soul vocal groups signed to ABC-Paramount

04. Persuasions - Summer Ride 1974
On Erica Label, I always thought this version was the original, but to my surprise it was done by Brighter Side Of Darkness first in 1973, IMHO Persuasions did it best... :-p

07. Renaldo Domino - I'm Getting Nearer To Your Love
(Born Renaldo Edward Jones) This record was written by Chicago DJ Mr. Richard Pegue in 1967

16. Sister Sledge - The Weatherman
These sisters signed with Atco records & recorded this second single in 1972

18. Billy Harner - Fool Me 1969
This Philadelphia singer is still an active performer to this day, he was one of the greatest singers in the 'blue eyed soul" bag of the mid to late 60's.

20. Reginald Haynes & Group - I'll Be Sweeter Than Yesterday 1973
Founder and lead vocalist of "The Escorts" the group he created while serving time in prison..


Please enjoy & feel free to leave comments! :)

Just a little about these tracks...

01. Startells - You're Wrong About Me I Don't remember much about this record except The dark pink label & the B Side of "Falling In Love With You Girl" One of my fav cuz I love thier echoing & taunting mellow sound...

03. Gallahads - Sad Girl
Heres a little info I learned about this record on Beechwood label also Art Laboe's Starla label...at the time this record was realeased a group "The Chants" became The Gallahads, but after 2 releases from the unofficial Gallahads, The Orignal Jimmy Pikin Gallahads did the rest of the hit ballads..But still in all what a original "Sad Girl" from 1960 soon followed by many Artist/Groups!

04. Monitors - Since I Lost You Girl ever come home from buying a record & play the B side first cuz we already know what the A side sounds like? well this is one of those records that became a upbeat fav of mine, I normally don't like fast upbeat songs but this is one of those that caught my ear...Greetings (This Is Uncle Sam) as you know is the A side...

05. Jaggerz - It's Gonna Take A Miracle - I'm On The Outside Looking In
Lead singer from this group is Jimmy Ross, The Girl singer is no other than
Donna Groom from the Skyliners group, another great voice...

11. Lezlie Valentine - Love On A Two Way Street was written by Sylvia Robinson in 1968. This song was originally recorded by Lezli Valentine, was then recorded by The Moments in 1970...

20. Vibrations - Take a Step in My Direction ( Aesop's Fables cut 67') were aka Jayhawks & Marathons) They never had a hit but they made it to r&b & pop charts...

21. Intruders - Just A Little Devil With An Angel's Smile
I remember the grunts I made when I pulled this record from my 45's...dang thing had a bigass crack in it :( but thanks to one of my DJ contacts, I was able to get a nice copy of this 1966 favorite...

25. Mary Wells & Smokey Robinson - I Want You Around
Before Marvin & Kim & The Royal Jesters there was...
Mary & Smokey who produced this fav in 63 (anyone have other versions? please let me know) I Love this song..

Again, Big thanks to RossyBoy for this awsome cover,
I love it so much I'm gonna use it one more time!

Ok there you have it!, Enjoy!!
