![]() They recorded for the Avco Records record label, in the early to mid 1970s. Their biggest hits were: My Dream, Cant Help Falling in Love, Im Gonna Prove It, Carla My Love, and That Old Black Magic. This group, placed in the hands of Thom Bell, or Gamble Huff, what could have been. When the question(s) arise as to the reasons the group did not attain greater recognition and commercial success, in the writers opinion, I have a big question Based on the talent of the group, their style, such a quality lead tenor, why didnt the group end up being produced by the premier architects at that time of East Coast Soul, who were succesfully producing groups of this type.įor a group with this kind of talent, how not Philly, and the aforementioned legends As to why not The writer doesnt know. I was after this rare vinyl for a long time and finally last year put my hands on it.I almost like every tune on it but my fav songs are: The First Time, Everybody Knew but Me and My Dream. Never released on CD (do not confused with their Greatest Hits Cd with the same cover).įurthermore, I agree with Vincent that The Softones was the best Sweet Soul Group From Baltimore (The Whatnauts and First Class are coming next). This is their self titled release from 1973 as issued on Avco Records which has been a staple in my crates ever since I was a young child. Being a lifelong resident of Baltimore makes this guest post all the more special so without further ado, I bring to you one of my all time favourite albums from arguably the best sweet Soul group of Charm City, The Softones. ![]()
