Popular Post Blackcab Posted June 30, 2014 Popular Post Posted June 30, 2014 I'm super excited to share this with all of you! It is likely the only extant video footage of the Brothers of Soul. I spent a long ass time trying to track down this footage, and just about as long getting it into a format that I could share with others. Definitely worth it though, as in my mind it's a supremely important historical document of one of Detroit's finest vocal groups. 37

I've been searching for it ever since. It was once on the internet, unfortunately they took the show with the Brothers of Soul footage down from their website a while ago for whatever reason. You'll notice if you go through the episode you posted the Brothers of Soul's performance is absent. Edited June 30, 2014 by BlackCab
Steve S 60 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 top footage.... who's the introducer? I think she's called Sandy Lawrence.

Jim Elliott Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Long live these guys, really great, unsung heroes or what? After too many years of hearing their music thru less than sophisticated systems in less than sophisticated venues its great to see them in their prime Jim Edited June 30, 2014 by Jim Elliott
Popular Post Mal C Posted July 1, 2014 Popular Post Posted July 1, 2014 Fabulous footage, check this out, WVON Show from that period also featuring the Creations aka 'The Brothers of Soul' which would date this to 67/8 perhaps... gives that TV appearance a real context, other than buying the 45's this is how you would have experienced them back then... The Creations Comes in a 7.40, but dont miss Jimmy Delphs at the beginning...!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsyp3xbQPRw Strong Stuff!! Mal.c 4
