    Skin I'm In LP (1974)

    Invictus

NO, NOT SINATRA!

...I'm talking about the soul group who helped put Invictus Records on the map with such killers as "Finders' Keepers" and "Give Me Just A Little More Time." Seriously underrated act, although for some reason they get more props in the UK than the US. The Chairmen took the Temptations' concept of multiple leads one step farther - General Johnson and Danny Woods were the soul men, Harrison Kennedy was the wyld black rocker with an affinity for the blues, Eddie Custis was the lounge singer. And after Custis left, the three remaining members put out simultaneous solo albums, some six years before Kiss pulled the same stunt. And while all their records had a definite rock undercurrent, they went all out in 1974 with Skin I'm In, where they were backed up by members of P-Funk. And since quite a few of you have been giving glowing reports to Harrison Kennedy's Hynotic Music, I thought I'd jam the spotlight on the group he came from. RESPECT...
