Four Sonics - The Greatest Love - Sport : 111 DJ

Although it doesn't mention "Pied Piper" on the label, this 1968 Detroiter shimmers with everything you'd expect from a Jack Ashford & Lorraine Chandler creation.

Deservedly, current popular dancefloor pleaser, so wanted, yet so very affordable but currently so darn evasive, as demand rockets skyward and copies become scarce.

Again the gifts of 4 Motor City masters at work. Deliver seamless Northern Soul, giving up two mesmeric Northern Soul sides

The converging talents Motown schooled Jack Ashford with partner Lorraine Chandler are joined by Dale Warren and Johnny Van Allen keeper of the keyboard. Summoning up four tight vocals (Jay Johnson, Bill Frazier, Steve Gaston and Eddie Daniels) into another deeply haunting harmonic force; hovering over a ringing vibe riddled arrangement. The voices lift and ebb in perfect unison, a style Jack Ashford and Lorraine Chandler had already perfected within their Pied Piper productions a couple of years earlier. Those unique productions still today held in such esteem the Northern Soul community consider a "Piper Piper" as the pinnacle of the NS sound.

"Easier Said Than Done" is perfection pulling the best characteristics from those 1966/67 glory years. Guiding an already highly experienced former Doo-Wop quartet. As the array of different vocal pitches play harmony volley-ball with each other.

Both sides are brilliant in their own way - this is masterly vocal-group soul, stewarded by 4 of Detroit's guiding lights.

LOVE IT TO BITS!
