Sweet Group Soul

Of all the groups already mentioned, haven't heard one of my old faves:
Africa, "Here I Stand"
Y'all pretty much got the rest covered, so just my late tip-in.

This is the track! Damn, I haven't pulled this out in a while. Good choice! Sweet soul with a gospel/doo-wop feel and some crazy rock dude sounding vocals.
Does anybody know the story behind The Pipkin brothers?
I agree, so necessary...BUT! The Falcons were indeed a soulful group...but SWEET? "I Found A Love" is as hard as granite and more down-home than a fish fry!
Cosign on the Ethics...
Also from Philly, the Four Larks (the stuff that isn't Northern Soul-ish is quite sweet) and the Formations....
Great great album. My favourite song by the group is probably this track off their second album:
This Is The Lost Generation
Such a gorgeous beginning to a track.
I'm still looking for this second LP for this particular track - anyone have a spare?
(that link doesn't work though)

Try that!!
Its hard for me to appreciate the subtle beauty of this track, cuz I keep wincing when the dudes wander out of key with each other... the tortured vocal is a tad reminiscient of the Mitch Mitchell single though, which is a personal fave...
Co-sign, the guitar and bass sound a little out of tune also. Kinda adds to the sound of desperation and kinda makes me want to jab my ears with a rusty screwdriver to stop the pain at the same time.
my kind of thread!
Raj, it might take a couple of days but I can rip the Van Dykes lp for you if no one beats me to it.
the "Mala Sessions" compilation is worth checking out as well if only for the exclusive "I'm For Real Baby"
which is an absolute killer track.
this seems as good a moment as any to ask you for access to real headz
also, it'd be nice if I could get my username changed to "Donald Hozier"
I'm very intrigued to hear that "Reflections Of Time" even the cover art seems to be a remake:
on another note, I've probably bought the Main Ingredients - Euphrates River for "Summer Breeze" and hadn't listened to it in years
when the other day a friend played it at his store. I loved it but didn't recognize it until he told me what it was.
What a gorgeous album.
Here are some good ones...The O'Jays In Philadelphia...Neverending Impressions...Special Occasion...A Lonely Man[Chi-Lites]...The Marvelettes[Pink Album]...Let The Boogie Woogie Roll...With O'Lot Of Soul[Temptations]...Perfect Angel[Minnie Riperton].
I'm back.. Special Lady[Ray-Goodman-Brown]- A Song For You- The Soft Tones-Hot Property[Heatwave]- Identify Yourself.
