Top Notch Oldies

For a number of years now our crew, past & present, it's contributors or familia if you will, have been producing it's famous compilations. The modest production of a few in the beginning has grown to a multitude of our homemade flavor

that continues to bring you all some of the best in soul. In this package of fine tracks you will continue to enjoy the same traditional sounds you have become accustomed to.

That's our commitment from our family to yours. A Top Notch ride deservedly requires a Top Notch cover & G Man has come through once again. Notice part of the Enchanted

Garden in the background...lol !!!

My Windy-City is again represented well with tracks 5, 12, 15, 17, & 19.

Please enjoy !

Red Hot Souldies - 03 - Chapter Three - Just Cruisin', Officer

Maybe Guy is the only one of us who ever did cruise Whittier Boulevard, but that doesn't mean that the rest of us don't care about lowriding music ! Mello whistles these tunes while he's polishing his Ranfla ! Rose sings doo-wop while she does the hoovering ! Billy and I can't sing a note, but we nod along as we dig through those crates, or rifle eBay for bargains ! We promised you classics and rarities in this series and you'll get plenty of hard-to find tunes of the very best sweet and slow variety in this cruising set. Enough to qualify us for honorary membership of Brown Pride, we hope ! For we do know our stuff, and this Chapter will be hard to follow, 'cause this is As Good As It Gets !!!
