GIN AND THE GENTS - BOY AND GIRL

(originally posted 8/28/11)

The only things I know about this group is that they were from Greensboro, North Carolina, and that female singer Gin (Virginia Massey) joined up with a group called The African Americans to become Gin & The Gents. This (glorious) 45 was their only release, although the Gents became The Versatile Gents around 1968.

This is a downright perfect one off record; "Boy And Girl" is a gorgeous sweet soul number with incredible harmonies; it's longer than your average single of the era, but personally I don't want it to ever end. Especially on a Sunday.

from 1967...
