This review is from: 100 Proof - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

100 Proof (Aged In Soul) were a talented--but luckless--quartet signed to Motown writer/producer Eddie Holland's Hot Wax label in the early-seventies.

They had a sizeable hit with "Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed" in late 1970, but then faded from view after some minor but fine r&b hits over the next year. They were a band that deserved much better.

Needless to say, r&b hounds like myself gobble up their LPs and 45s on sight. (As proof, just check the prices used copies of this CD fetch on amazon.com.) Imagine my surprise then, that I would come across this while scouring the 99-cent CD bin at the local Books/Music/Video chain store.

And it's excellent. Worth every penny being asked for it. This is chock-full of prime seventies r&b shoulda coulda wouldas. Steve Mancha (real name Clyde Wilson) is a powerful singer, ably supported by Joe Stubbs (yes, that Stubbs). And the arrangements are perfect. These guys were definitely under-appreciated in their day.

My only question is when is this going to be re-issued? Fantasy put out this edition in 1990, for which Concord Music now holds the rights. It's already remastered (by Joe Tarantino--who did the Otis Redding installment of the 'Stax Profiles' series) and is ready to go.

C'mon Concord--save our soul!

Outside the Motown Empire there existed another whole music world. Golden World, Fortune, Ric-Tic and more. The members of 100 Proof, especially Steve Mancha, were part of that scene. If you're a collector, you need this CD. If you're just learning about R&B, you need this even more.
