Exciters - Black Beauty (Vinyl)

Exciters - Black Beauty (Vinyl)

Starting out as the Masterettes, a girl group formed by high school friends Brenda Reid, Carol Johnson, Lillian Walker, and Sylvia Wilbur, the group switched focus and changed name after Wilbur was replaced by Brenda Reid's husband, Herb Rooney, their breakthrough hit Tell Him appearing in 1963 after Leiber & Stoller took charge. 1971's Black Beauty, produced by Rooney, continued the post-L&S journey via the group's own take of funky and melodic soul, approaching the style of the Staples Singers with plenty of emotive harmonies. If you like your soul switched on, hard-hitting and individual, you need Black Beauty in your collection.
