The Barrino Brothers - Livin' High Off The Goodness Of Your Love (LP 1973 Invictus) (CD Expanded 2019 Solid Japan) - Rare Soul (FLAC)

The group came from & formed in High Point, North Carolina, in the late 1960s. The group was composed of three brothers, Nathaniel, Perry and Julius Barrino, and a friend named Robert Roseboro. In 1972, they signed a recording contract with the former Motown team of Holland-Dozier-Holland, who had their own label Invictus Records. They subsequently began recording their debut & only album, REVIEWED TODAY. While still in production of the complete album, two of the songs were released regionally in the US: "I Shall Not Be Moved" and "Try It, You'll Like It". At that time, due to distributor and other matters beyond the group's control, these two releases failed to get sufficient airplay. Their debut 45 from only ten released "just a mistake" on TCB is going for £700 today with collectors its that rare.The Barrino Brothers' catalog was sold to music moguls in Japan. This is a superb album with that smooth invictus sound stamped all over it + their dancers!
