Description
S.O.U.L. What Is It LP 1971 Musicor Stereo MS 3195 Funk. Sounds Of Unity & Love. The album is fairly well trashed with numerous small marks and scratches. It plays a bit better than it looks. Side 1 plays the best but has a skip at the tail end of the last song. Side II plays all the way through but has more noise than side 1. The album cover is rubbed and split entirely across the top and 5" down the side. Still a scarce album.
Sounds Of Unity and Love (S.O.U.L.) was a band originating in 1970 in Cleveland. Members were Lee Lovett (bass), Gus Hawkins (sax/flute), Paul Stubblefield (drums), and Walter Winston (guitar). Larry Hancock (vocals/organ) was added in 1971 and Bernard (Beloyd) Taylor (guitar) replaced Walter Winston in 1972. The group won the first prize of 1,000 dollars in a battle-of-the-bands contest in 1970, sponsored by the May Company department store in Cleveland, WHK radio station, and Musicor Records, and they gained a recording contract with Musicor Records for their first single "Down In The Ghetto" (1971), produced by the TOP POP Recording Company 223 Kingston Avenue, Brooklyn, New York City. Two years later, S.O.U.L. were back to New York to record What is IT, a LP with seven tracks of covers of jazz and funk tunes, that jumped for two months on the Top 40 album spot on Billboard's soul album chart.
