  10. This second release in 2015 from "Soul Junction Records " sees the much awaited UK 45 issue of this current indemander Richard "Popcorn Wylie " production double header :- Press Release: Mighty Lovers “Ain’t Gonna Run No More/(She Keeps)Driving Me Out Of My Mind” SJ1001 Release Date: Monday June 1st 2015 The Mighty Lovers “Ain’t Gonna Run No More” on Soul Hawk records was once regarded as just a cheap Detroit collectors label filler, but with the current popularity of a more funkier soul sound it’s quirky dance groove has seen this 45 grow in popularity and demand throughout Europe. Therefore we at Soul Junction as part of our current Licensing deal with the Wylie family have chosen to reissue it to meet the current demand. The Mighty Lovers were reputedly connected to the Chicago group the Ideals who recorded for the Satellite and St. Lawrence labels. As The Mighty Lovers they recorded the song “The Mighty Lover” which was released twice on Sammy Kaplan’s Boo-Ga-Loo label, credited to both the Mighty Lovers (Boo-Ga-Loo 468) and as the Ideals (Boo-Ga-Loo 108). We currently can’t confirm the true identity of the Mighty Lovers but what we do know is that “Ain’t Gonna Run No More” was recorded in Chicago in 1970 under the direction of Popcorn Wylie who also played piano on the session. The session also featured Buford “Fabb” Glanton and Leroy Emanuel on Lead and Bass guitar respectively. The distinctive horn intro was provided by Trumpeter Ron Jackson. While the b-side is a great little feel good dancer “(She Keeps) Driving Me Out Of My Mind” which also shares the same backing track as Stanley Mitchells northern soul classic “Quit Twisting My Arm” on Dynamo records. As well as the New Holidays Westbound release “My BabyAin’t a Plaything”. Using the same backing track on different songs was a common practice of Producer Popcorn Wylie.

Stephen an honorably discharged navy veteran also wrote and published the book about the growth and development of The Volcanos “Behind the Curtain.” Ron Silva a licensed nursing home administrator spent years as a musician and director of several choirs in the South Jersey. Ron was also a member of the secular vocal group “Royal Blues” before becoming a member of The Volcanos . Ron sings baritone, tenor and lead. William Nix has been singing and playing music virtually all his life. He’s a trained musician and sings tenor and lead. Nix as he’s called by the group is deeply spiritually and plays bass guitar when he’s available for other traveling gospel greats like Shirley Caesar. James (J.P.) Phillips sings first and second tenor and lead. Prior to joining The Volcanos , J.P. as he’s called by the group sang with The Intrigues, Classic Harmony and The Men of Mount Moriah. Darrall Campbell sang with a number of popular groups like Mixed Emotions, New Image, The Ecstasies, Destinations and a solo career that resulted in Darrall producing and recording “I Dig You which became a local hit.
