60's Bubbling Under the Hot 100 Song Review: "Soul Sister" by Four Gents (1966)


U.S. Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 Charts peak position No. 133

Backstory: Not a whole lot is known or written about this group, but from what I could find, they are a funk and soul group from the Flint and Detroit areas of Michigan. This song (which was actually a b-side to a single called, "I've Been Trying" ), was their only ever charting single. It was released off of the very short lived Hanna-Barbara Records label. They released only one more single off of Liberty Records in 1967 called, "He Got Soul" and then split up soon afterwards.

The review: This is a pretty damn fine soul and (mostly) instrumental R&B tune with a funky and catchy horn and drum beat. Good stuff.

Final rating: 8/10
