Young-Holt Unlimited - Oh Girl (1973) Atlantic - LP release Only - Rare Soul/Jazz (FLAC 219MB)

Got a request for this that surprised me a bit as these guys are an acquired taste. I,ve had this album for 50 years now and its in good condition and i played it today for the first time in 20 years i think, so nice to get a request for it. Drummer Isaac "Redd" Holt and bassist Eldee Young, formerly members of the Ramsey Lewis trio, formed a new outfit called the Young-Holt Trio with pianist Don Walker in 1966.They were successful under ransey as his rhytms section and a bold move back then to walk away. They met with modest success, including the minor hit "Wack-Wack", which charted at number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.In 1968, the group renamed itself Young-Holt Unlimited, and replaced Walker with Ken Chaney. Under their new name, the group scored a number three Hot 100 hit with "Soulful Strut," it sold a million copies with the gold record awarded by the RIAA in January 1969, less than three months after the track's release. Also chart success with the backing instrumental track from Barbara Acklin's "Am I the Same Girl."  Follow-up releases failed to match the commercial success of "Soulful Strut", and the group disbanded by 1974. Many of their tracks have been spun on the UK Northern scene. Thier distinctive sound of Soul/jazz has always been popular with fans in the UK & Europe more than the USA . Still no CD issue for this rare album. There,s an interesting in depth article Over Here
