East LA DJ and music historian Ruben Molina and his deep crates of sweet, sweet soul.

Man, it's gonna be somethin' special!

 

1. Reggie Soul and the Soul Swingers 'World Of Ecstacy' (Capri 11712) [1968]

What a beautiful Chicago production. This record has it all: a nice groove, jazzy flute, great lyrics and it fits perfectly into the low rider style. This is the type of record that steps up a collector’s game.

 

2. Passionetts 'My Life Depends On You' (Soul Burst 501) [1969]

A Haunting ballad. Philadelphia female group harmony at its best. It’s not until 1:20 into the song that that you even hear Juanita Stewart’s lead vocals. 

 

3. Kickin Mustangs 'Take A Miracle' (Plato 80286) [1968]

Fantastic ballad out of Ashland, KY. A mixed group lead by Danny Shortridge. The record was actually recorded in Cincinnati. Made its way out to Los Angeles on one of the Lost Soul compilations.

 

4. Deceptions 'Of All The Hearts' (Brooks 323) [1968]

Sweet soul magic from Norfolk, VA’s Deceptions. Another one of those beat ballads that became popular among Chicano “oldies” buyers in the mid-nineties. 

 

5. Masqueraders 'One More Chance' (La Beat 6705) [1967] 

Dallas’ Masqueraders have a long history with the low rider culture. With the popularity of songs like “I’m Just An Average Guy” and “I Ain’t Got To Love Nobody Else” from the moment of their release it didn’t take much for this gem to be on everyone’s want list.
