Produced by the great Monk Higgins, all I know about the group is that they were from Chicago and perhaps this was their only record. And what a fine record it is!
Showing a strong influence from the Impressions in their lovely harmony work and overall groove, The Conquistadores are yet another group lost in the soul talent pool of the day.
I simply adore the relaxed but propulsive groove on this track, capped off with excellent lyrics and a fantastic group vocal performance. If it doesn't get you on first listen, spin it again; it's a subtle and beautiful track.
