Free Music Notes for Easier Said Than Done / A Walkin Miracle
Free Music Review: Semper Fi, Mac
Hit: 5 Stars
First conceived at a U.S. Marine Base on Okinawa by Walter Vickers and Rodney Taylor, once back Stateside at Camp Lejeune, N.C. they recruited Rudolph Johnson and Billy Hill and, before getting an audition with Roulette Records, added Anita Humes, who hailed from Harrisburg, Pa.
Their initial release was credited simply to The Essex, and the unusual staccato-like delivery of Easier Said Than Done (b/w Are You Going My Way?) made them an instant success as it shot to # 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts in July 1963, spending two weeks straight at each top position and a total of 28 weeks on the charts.
For their next release Roulette billed them as The Essex Featuring Anita Humes, and while it was nowhere as successful as their début hit, A Walkin' Miracle (b/w What I Don't Know Won't Hurt Me) turned in a respectable # 11 R&B/# 12 Hot 100 in September 1963.
But by December they were among the first North American groups to be swept aside by the initial wave of the British Invasion as She's Got Everything (b/w Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind) could only manage a # 56 Hot 100/R&B in December.
After that - nothing. You can easily find their two big hits on any number of multi-artist compilations, but if you want all three of their charters and their flipsides, this is about the only place you're apt to find them. Besides, their renditions of the Lymon hit Why Do Fools Fall In Love? as well as We Belong Together and Been So Long (originally done by Robert & Johnnie and The Pastels) aren't bad.
