SIMS TWINS

SAR 138 vg+

... talented acts like the Sims (alternatively spelled "Simms") Twins would've been as big as Sam & Dave, who they influenced, or would have the soul fan cult following that Eddie & Ernie have. Their handful of sides for Sam Cooke's SAR concern were the commercial high point of their career, particularly in their lone big hit, "Soothe Me." After SAR folded following Sam's death, the duo moved from label to label, leaving behind lots of good, if not brilliant, material but never hitting the big time... https://stepfatherofsoul.blogspot.com/2007/07/little-taste-of-soul.html

SAR LABEL

SAR Records was a record company founded by soul music legend Sam Cooke in 1959. The meaning of "SAR" has been disputed; it has been listed as

"Sam & Alex Records" (J.W. Alexander was Cooke's business, song-writing associate, and friend) and also as "Sam, Alex, & Roy Records" (Roy being S.R.

Crain, Cooke's mentor from his Soul Stirrers days, as well as his pop road manager). The label did not feature Cooke, but rather featured all of Cooke's

artists such as the latter-day Soul Stirrers with Jimmie Outler and Johnnie Taylor singing lead, The Valentinos (Cecil & Bobby Womack), Billy Preston, Mel

Carter, The Simms Twins, Johnnie Morisette, L.C. Cooke (Cooke's younger brother), as well as Johnnie Taylor as a pop soloist. The label was intended to

be a place where Sam Cooke could expand his artistic abilities as a writer/producer and to give other struggling African-American artists a venue to record

during the racially charged 1960's. Cooke did record two songs on the label, however, that have only been released since 2001: the solo side of his gospel

song "That's Heaven to Me", and "Somewhere There's a Girl" (a secular version of The Valentino's "Somewhere There's a God")
