Here's the latest and greatest of our Familia collaborations. The G MAN sets the tone with his firme cover, and, using Editor's privilege, I've tried to get you all in the mood with the bonus opening track. Then it's over to the krew to do their utmost to woo you with sweet sounds. Ol' Man Mello adds an interesting little twist on his two selections, tracks #06 and #17. Act One started out as a studio group in 1972. In time, they evolved to become Special Delivery. Even though personnel changes took place over the years, they're credited as being one and the same group. Their biggest impact hit-wise was when Terry Huff wrote and sang lead on their tunes. But neither of these cuts include Terry ! So, no more Huffin' and Puffin' - just get right down to the music ! Hope you enjoy this set as much as the previous volumes in this series ! RossyBoy
