Album Review

The three Memphis, TN, natives specialize in tear-jerking, sentimental ballads led by the airy falsetto leads of Jasper (Jabo) Phillips and complemented by Harold "Scotty" Scott and Del "Deljuan" Calvin's heavenly harmony blends. "Love...Can Be So Wonderful" and "I'm for You" are light, sweet romantic excursions. On "Love Maze," a three-hearts-in-a-tangle ballad, a gripping falsetto shares the lead with a buttery tenor on the for-lovers-only selection. "A Thousand Miles Away," originally done by the Heartbeats, is competent but doesn't equal or surpass the original — then again, no version ever has. The uptempo arrangement of the MOR classic "At Last" leaves one cold. They obviously recorded the toe-tappers to break the monotony of the soft stuff. Too bad Stax/Fantasy Records left "Love Between a Boy and Girl" off this best-of compilation — that's an unforgivable, downright shame.

A Must Have

This is a great album a must have, my father played it all the time when I was little girl and yes I know every word to every song this is the good stuff !!!!!!

Awesome

If you haven't got this by now, your losing out. This is an awesome music. Takes me back to the 60s my teen years. I will turn 60 and still makes me feel good. What great music we had then. Love & Peace

A Memphis soul vocal trio. This polished group formed in 1970 and recorded for We Produce, a Stax offshoot.

After "Love's Maze" made a little noise as...
