While they weren't blood brothers, Richard Dunbar & James Diggs (aka the Knight Brothers) were certainly joined together in a deep bond as singers. Soul duo records (whether it's Sam & Dave, Etta James & Sugar Pie DeSanto, Otis & Carla) had a tendency to bring some very hot stuff to wax, and this record is a mighty fine example of call and response soul at its best.
from 1966...
I've only got a half-a-dozen songs by these guys, from comps and such, but every one is a gem. Great post! W.
