Starting around mid-1967, many Detroit soul records took on an ethereal sound that veers on sinister sounding but still retain the Motown beat, albeit in a less manic fashion.
The brothers Of Soul were a vocal trio made up of Robert Eaton, Richard Knight and Fred Bridges (who takes the lead here). Eaton and Knight's harmonies are absolutely other worldly, and Bridges' lead is gritty but in absolute control. The trio went on releasing a few more records under this name, but also shared their songwriting talents with other artists, and worked steadily as backing vocalists (aminly for Holland-Dozier-Holland's post-Motown productions)
from 1968...
