The Presidents - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 Years of Love(1971)Sussex Records - Rare Soul

One of the Greatest & Most Under Rated Soul Groups With harmonies To Match Anybody!.....The Presidents were from Washington, D.C. The group's members were Tony Boyd, Archie Powell, and Billy Shorter. The group scored a hit in the United States in 1970 with the Van McCoy produced track, "5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years of Love)", taken from the Sussex Records album of the same name. The album hit #158 on the Billboard Hot 200 and #15 on the R&B Albums chart, and the song peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and #5 on the R&B singles chart.....Later in the 1970s, the group changed its name to Trilogy, then ANACOSTIA, under which they recorded the similar-sounding single "On and Off" (later recorded by David Ruffin) and continued recording under this name into the 1980s.Great Album with a few Northern Dance Classics Included.
