Great '60s RnB and Soul, you never hear "The Duke of Earls" name brought up. But dude had hits from the begging of the sixties all the way until the '80s. Dude covered it all, from '60s R&B to late '60s-early '70s Soul to Funk and Disco. Show some respect.

He is definietly a great singer and I absolutely love those songs. Thank you for sharing this great music. Love it!

Thanks for this. Gene is definitely underrated...WAY underrated!!!!

Forgotten? Nah, not even close.
Great thread though

I love 'Groovy Situation'

Gene Chandler was scheduled to appear at one of our Super Oldies R&B concerts last year but for some reason,he was removed from the bill and replaced by Honey Cone.

Can't really play the clip right now cuz a friend is sleeping nearby but Cowboys to Girls?!

I didn't know Gene did that tune. Was his the original or The Intruders version?

Blue you scaring me man. This stuff is older than me and i probably
got about 15 years on you. My dad used to have one of gene's albums
when i was a little boy and i remember rainbow, duke of earl, and
you threw a lucky punch. You threw a lucky punch is the jam.

Haha, like me, LBC is passionate about soul music. I don't blame you for being "scared". You should see my Mary Wells thread. It should be in page 2 or 3, lol.
