Hit: 5 Stars
The wonderful "Could This Be Magic?" is today acknowledged by many as one of the all-time best R&B ballads of the late 1950s. And yet, despite being recorded by an acknowledged R&B group [lead Richard Blandon, Cleveland Still, Bill Carlyle, Tommy Grate, and Jim Miller], it made no impact whatsoever on the R&B charts. It did, however, hit # 23 Billboard Top 100 in November 1957 b/w Such Lovin'.
The same thing applied to their only other charters (Don't Ask Me (To Be Lonely) - # 72 Hot 100 in July 1957 b/w Darling, and Chapel Of Dreams - # 74 Hot 100 in September 1959 b/w Is There A Love For Me?). That has to be THE puzzle of chart history because, listening to them even some 50 years later, this is one of the best group sounds to emerge in that era, bar none.
Perhaps, as another reviewer points out, their overall lack of chart success may be attributable to their label. Certainly, no one will ever confuse Gone with Columbia.
In any event, this is an enjoyable album which features, in addition to their three charters and their flipsides, true stereo versions of Your Very First Love and Blue Velvet, and includes one of my favourite songs, You're Free To Go. Don't miss out on this one.
