Info on Discogs ....
Mid 70's group from Kansas City, Missouri. Members: Arthur Malone, Ernest Malone, Larry Brown & Melvin Manning.
Only had the 1 x 45 + 1 x LP on J Bridge Records.
They were the only act to have releases on the label, so I guess it didn't live up to it's slogan .. Arranger on the session was Benjamin Franklin Wright Jr. -- he was based out of Chicago from 69 to 75, then moved to LA. Became Temptations [[+ Gladys Knight, Barry White & Reffa's musical director). Played on Motown studio sessions for Temptations, High Inergy, etc. Then moved onto further studio work and produced / arranged for likes of Otis Clay, Tavares, Chuck Jackson, Edmund Sylvers & more.
LP re-released in Japan in mid 90's.
