Channel 3 - Someone Else's Arms

Channel 3 were Bobby Thomas, Jerome Johnson, Leonard Michell, and originally Wales Wallace. It was Wallace that seemed to put this group together and make the connections they needed to record, but then dropped out before this record was done. Leonard Michell had the distinction of being the lead voice on the "Gorilla' by the Ideals. They had been around since the late fifties. Jerome Johnson was in The Trends who recorded for Johnny Pate on ABC. Bobby Thomas who leads here went on to much fame as a member of The Notations. A lot of talent on this track. Recorded for Dakar in '72, this was the flip for the 'Sweetest Thing' which has become a UK fave. There arn't many copies of this one, as it seems there were more 2 sided promos of 'Sweetest Thing' than stock copies with this flip on them. A great Barbara Acklin song, this is probably more familiar as done by her, or the Chi-Lites. Brunswick/Dakar were known to try a song with several artists. This is the most rare, and Pookie's favorite of all the versions. The experience in vocal groups really shows on this superb record. Hope you enjoy this super ballad in the 'Chicago Soul' style by these super singers. This is from Pookie's 'Why didn't they record more?' list.
