The only hard facts I know of this Chicago group are that the record was arranged by jazzman Burgess Gardner, and that one of the singers, Walter Jones, became a member of the Notations (shortly) after this gorgeous record was released.
Whatever the rest of the story is (and believe me, I'd love to know more), this is yet another example of thesweet soul/ group harmony sound that was so popular and so GOOD in the late 60's early 70s Chicago scene.
I am guessing the year.
from 1970...

Thank you Derek for making the switch. Can you please consider making the switch for the Otis Clay 45 that preceded this one? Thanks for revisiting, if you do.
thanks so much for the switch to mediafire, your blog is a highlight of my day, allows me to get my soul fix as well as the other obscure 60's stuff you find. thanks again.

Thank You Derek!
What a great great soul number that is...
A friend of mine's father was in this group. He has since passed away, but I believe Walter Jones is still living. I heard that they appeared on Soul Train when it was still a local show in Chicago. I would love to be able to share a clip of it.
