60s CHICAGO GROUP NORTHERN SOUL/FUNK
ORIGINAL U.S. ISSUE
TWO EXQUISITE WINDY CITY INSTRUMENTALS
THIS GROUP OF SCOTT BROTHERS WERE HOWARD (LEAD VOCALS), WALTER AND KENNETH (THE LATTER RECORDED SOLO A FEW YEARS LATER, AS BUDDY SCOTT); IN 1967, THIS BAND OF BROTHERS RECORDED A SUPERB NORTHERN SOUL SKIPPER CALLED "WE LIKE GIRLS" (ZACHRON), AND LATER IN THE SAME YEAR BACKED IRENE SCOTT (THEIR SISTER?) ON THE DETROIT-RECORDED SCREAMER, "I'M STUCK ON MY BABY" (RELEASED AS IRENE & THE SCOTTS ON SMASH); AFTER A SINGLE OF THEIR OWN ON SMASH, THE SCOTT BROTHERS HAD THREE 45s ON CHICAGO'S TASTY TODDLIN' TOWN LABEL - IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE THE ONE WHERE THEIR ORCHESTRA BACKED ALVIN CASH; THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TODDLIN' TOWN SINGLE AND BEING CREDITED TO THE SCOTT BROS. ORCH., YOU CAN BET THAT BOTH SIDES ARE GOING TO BE TOP-CLASS INSTRUMENTALS; "THEY ALL CAME BACK" IS A STOMPER FROM BEGINNING TO END, WITH MANY BRASS RIFFS BLOWING IN AND OUT OF THE MIX; OTHER GOODLY FEATURES ARE THE SAXIE RUSSELL-STYLE SAX WORK TOWARDS THE END, AND THE QUIVERING GUITAR NOTES THAT POP UP AT REGULAR INTERVALS; MANSHIP HAS PLACED £100 ON THIS, BUT THE £30 THAT ANGLO-AMERICAN WANTED A FEW YEARS AGO IS PROBABLY CLOSER TO THE MARK; THE FLIP IS A SLOWER AND MEANER FUNK INSTRUMENTAL, WITH A CATCHY INTRO, A BIT LIKE THAT HEARD ON "ONE NIGHT AFFAIR" BY THE O'JAYS; BOTH SIDES WERE WRITTEN BY HOWARD SCOTT, WALTER SCOTT, AND IRA GATES; THE SCOTT BROTHERS HAD ONE MORE 45 ON CAPRI IN 1973, BEFORE CHANGING THEIR NAME SLIGHTLY TO THE BROTHERS SCOTT AND CO. BAND
