Zanetti Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Is this Bridges, Knight and Eaton? Does anyone know this (very interesting) recording? Any background info? The three mentioned above were mainly active in Detroit ... Just on evilbay online for many, many sprats. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 This is not the Bridges/ Knight/ Easton group. There was a thread on SS from 2019 "Johnny & the Brothers of Soul ... Who Are they" . I don't think the identity of this group was ever solved. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Happy New Year to you both My thread here A month ago on You Tube "I know Johnny and he's a great guy, he's now in his 70s, married with grown children and lives in Surfside Myrtle Beach South Carolina. If you like his music please enjoy it and share it, ask for it to be played by your radio stations...in remembrance of a time not long ago and not forgotten."

Angus Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 hi there-had this record a few years ago (2015/2016)-bought it with a view to sell on-paid a fair few dollars if i remember and struggled to move it on-eventually got my money out of it(as you do) but it did not fly out-got it from a dealer from rochester-ny state where the record is from-too funky for my liking but probably bang on for todays tastes-same guy offered me another copy on my last trip to usa pre-lockdown-i turned it down as he wanted more than the last copy i bought and i got cold feet-a local lad bought it straight off him at his asking price ($1200)-other side if i remember is a half decent group soul thing but with a very sparce backing-im getting old now and set in my ways so not my kind of record-been up new york state several times and know several collectors up there and it is deffo a hard record to turn up-just not my bag thats all!! give me some kind of wonderful any day of the week over this record!! 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Robbk Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I've never seen nor heard that record. The voice sounds vaguely familiar. It has a sound that could be anywhere between 1965 and 1968. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Also appears as "Lifetime" only. Lifetime Recordings was founded in 1952 by Lester W. Osband (1913-2009). As a local custom recording company, Lifetime recorded various Rochester High School bands, church choirs, etc. before launching his own Lifetime label in 1959 The initial release was by The Capris, a black vocal group, now a rare item."

Tim Bailey Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’ve been around the block a few times, 62 and veteran St.Ives, Samantha’s, Cleo’s, Britt Nott’s, Wirrina, Yate blah, blah, blah but this tune! It’s up there for me with the best, close second to Mel Britt in my all time tunes, soul personified, amazing record. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
