5.0 out of 5 stars St Louis One Hit Wonder Band Awesome Stereo Anthology!!!, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Look Out for the Cheater - Golden Classics Edition (Audio CD)

'The Cheater' is a blue-eyed Northern Soul classic, courtesy of the superb lead vocal from one Walter Notheis. For publicity purposes, Notheis renamed himself Sir Walter Scott, and for a few months in 1966 drummer Kuban, Scott and the rest of the In-Men were a hot pop band beyond the city limits of St. Louis, Missouri. Sadly, they could never manage another nationwide US smash, but their legacy--gathered on this fine CD--marks them out as one of the finest white soul bands of the era.

As early as January 1965, Kuban's crew were proving their credentials, with a debut single on NORMAN ('I Don't Want to Know') that outstripped the limitations of the song, and a follow-up that featured a driving version of Bobby Bland's R&B favorite, 'Turn On Your Love Light.' The success of 'The Cheater' prompted a hasty Musicland USA album, which mixed R&B covers with original material like the fine torch ballad, 'Try Me Baby.'

This Collectables CD features the whole of both Musicland USA albums, plus singles early and late, and four solo tracks by Walter Scott. It also provides a tragic postscript: Scott disappeared in December 1983, and was later found to have been murdered by his wife's lover. The killer is serving a life sentence; the wife got five years; and Scott lives on only via these classy blue-eyed soul records from 30 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a fan..., February 23, 2001

I first bought "the Cheater" 45 over 35 years ago. I also acquired "the Teaser" and "Drive My Car" on 45. In 1972, I found "the Cheater" LP in a recycled box of albums in a Pensacola, FL department store. Bought it for a quarter and still have it. I was delighted when the In Men made it to CD. Excellent band, terrific vocals and harmonies. If you like soul music with a blue-eyed interpretation, you will enjoy this CD. I still listen to this band regularly. Just good music.

Considering how things ended up years later, it's just awful that the only song on this CD that got any attention to speak of back when these tracks were fairly new was "The Cheater." Don't get me wrong...that's an excellent track. But my very favorite tracks on this CD are the ones that were credited to Walter Scott as a solo artist. Okay, one other track really stands out..."You Better Run." That is a superb example of what a very talented and emotive singer Walter Scott could be. I am sure he is greatly missed by his family, friends, and fans. Even I cherish every track on this CD, and I'm a fairly new fan of Bob Kuban & The In-Men.
May God bless Walter Scott...
