VONTASTICS - I'LL NEVER SAY GOODBYE

Here's the debut release from Chicago's excellent Vontastics; featuring leader and songwriter Bobby Newsome, this group' run of 8 singles were ALL excellent or, at the very least, very good.

This record showcases the type of sound that was so uniquely Chicago; the rhythm is very similar to Major Lance's "Um Um Um Um Um Um" (in fact, this influential groove made its way to dozens upon doens of Chicago soul jams), the vocals are top notch (the Vontastics' harmonies definitely took a cue from The Impressions), exciting and dramatic horns, all supporting the excellent songwriting of Bobby Newsome.

from 1965...
