Act 1 - Act 1 (1974) Spring - + Bonus Tracks - Rare Soul (MP3)HQ

The band was created by Raeford Gerald and only recorded this one studio album. They changed their name to Special Delivery adding Terry Huff as lead singer. Some of the guys came out of Detriot but producer/writer Rafael Gerald, already renowned for producing and writing much of Millie Jackson‘s first three albums,and his abundance of work on the Sring label. He hoped to strike gold again when he launched Act One in 1972 in Los Angeles. The group also included Reginald Ross, George Barker, and Roger Terry. Gerald had worked with these guys in the past and knew what they could do. The album was a flop but is now in demand with soul lovers. some tracks were minor hits around the states. On the bad side "Tom The Peeper" was a world wide smash in the disco,s...A record i loath but some liked it as it sold in droves back in the day. They disbanded shortly after with Raeford moving onto other projects. Apart from that "peeper" track it is a very good polished album now sought after by collectors. Raeford recorded under the name of Ray Godfrey ,no stranger to the northern scene with a few singles on Spring( co-singing with the Determinations) & Event. Lots of great dancers included with the bonus tracks. Again a shame they didnt do more albums.Bonus tracks listed under back cover.
