Soul Inc. - Introduction / Shout Bamalama

1 comment:

  1. Track A1 from "Live! At The Cellar" - Emblem USA 1966

    In the tradition of other great South Carolina horn bands of The Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music, Soul Inc. from Columbia, was a band meant to be seen live and in person. It's clearly evidenced by listening to their album recorded live at Charlotte, NC's famous
    night club, The Cellar. Another Soul Inc. cut "Shout Bama Lama"
    originally written and recorded by the seemingly ubiquitous Otis Redding for Bethlehem Records , and brought to national
    prominence via Mickey Murray’s potent 1967 version, appears on volume #4 in a wonderfully raw live performance by the
    Columbia, SC based soul band. The group had formed when a trio of members from The Swingin’ Medallions (saxophonist
    Freddy Pugh, guitarist Perrin Gleaton, trumpeter Rick Godwin), left in1965 and eventually teamed with lead vocalist Eddie Zomerfield. Play that funky music white boy!!!!!
