The background vocal done by Rhodes, Chalmers and Rhodes were, in my opinion, absolutely fantastic. For the longest time, I assumed they were black. I was taken by surprise that they are, indeed, white.

I'd like to see a piece done about them.
Lockhart Gary and Boogiedown, I just experienced another one of those "I-Can't-Believe-They're-White" moments. [[I hope you don't mind my putting it here with the Rhodes-Chalmers-Rhodes discussion, Lockhartgary. I didn't know where else to insert it.) This time it's a Philly Soul group. Ever hear of Sons of Robin Stone? Their "Got To Get You Back" is one of my favorite TSOP tracks from the Various Artists "Disco Trek" album on Atlantic which was a Tom Moulton mix. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this video a while back. I was reminded of it earlier this evening. For Sons Of Robin Stone fans, now it's your turn to be surprised!
