Gene & Bobby - Strike Again (1977) Guiness Records - Rare Soul (MP3 72MB)

When Buffalo natives in upstate New York Bobby Nunn and Eugene Coplin recorded "If This World Were Mine" LP (posted on the old blog)… in the late 1960s and early 70s, the duo fashioned themselves as suave sophisticates with their insides exposed boys to men by way of Marvin Gaye and the Five Stairsteps . No doubt they incited more than a few swoons and sighs at local gigs. But then Nunn’s father William couldn’t sustain his fledgling label, Mo Do, and Bob & Gene’s album was set aside in a crawl space or an attic or wherever else all these “lost” soul records end up. You can guess the rest. This album their follow up is a time capsule of great covers done their way with a great cover of the Main Ingrediant`s " Happiness" gaining northern spins.
