I've got a special treat for the KLD listeners today.....a smooth souldies comp titled "THE FOUR HORSEMEN PRESENT PLAYBOY CHARM VOLUME ONE." This is an album that I worked on with three heavy hitters of the the underground soul genre.....SOLOE, SCAVENJAH & SOULSIDER.
This album has a little bit of everything, of course in that smooth, stylistic groove pattern. Here are just a few highlights.....
Track 4 is from the New York based gang turned musical group, THE GHETTO BROTHERS. "I SAW A TEAR" was from their one and only album Power/Fuerza that was produced in 1971. A lonely ballad with that one and only trademark sound of THE GHETTO BROTHERS.
Song number five is from THE CASINOS, who also had the standout hit "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye." "I'm Falling" is a doo wop flavored, close-harmony song performed to perfection by the group that was originally from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Cut number six by BOBBY MCCLURE titled "You Bring Out The Love In Me." This smooth track shares the same background instrumentation as LOVE AFFAIR'S "I Can't Stop Loving You." This song was only issued in the UK as a 45 single.
