I believe they had just the one album, but the 45 they released on Stateside called 'Gotta Find A True Love' in 1974 was not included and is a very highly sought after record, not to mention exceedingly good :-) Patterson Twins did another version of the same song.

Big thanks to y'all for your replies. Yes I'm referring to the group with that single album on Motown.

I attended a live club gig featuring Phillip Mitchell at The Starvin' Artist in Louisville, Kentucky back in the late seventies.

The Prince was dynamite and so was his saxplayer. I learnt from Phillip that the horndude was a cousin of his who also played with Bottom & Co. This bro was a little older than the Prince, he was stoutish, short and full of energy. He was sweating like a pig. One couldn't help but be drawned to this guy. He didn't stand still for a second.

The Prince was some wicked dresser. He did some modelling and at the time was sporting a yellow Lincon Continental.

Bottom & Co. Now this is one obscure Motown Group!

The jam was "Here For The Party". I remember that song turning out many a hall and house party.
