Here's some nice soul from 1972 on Calvin Carter's On Top label. Love that early 70's falsetto sound. I think this was Carter's last label in Chicago. What a legacy he left us from Vee-Jay on. This is the only record I'm aware of by The Newday, but maybe someone knows what else there may be. On Top closed down in 1973, and Calvin moved on to California, where he continued to produce records, but to lesser success than his Chicago days. God bless him for all the great music he was responsible for.

  • Awesome song!! Thanks for posting..i think i played it at least 10 times in a row!! lol!

  • so happy you liked this. found this record by accident almost. i love it. have since found out newday was originally the passions. the chi-town passions, and included el anthony who did some solo stuff in the 70's. i think it's a great song. thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

  • listening again,it sounds as if the same musicians who play for dakar-brunswick might have played on this also. maybe because tom tom washington did arrangement work. i'm just about sure bernard reed is on bass on this but the others...it's a toss up between dozens of musicians.

  • fred, you're probably right. after vee-jay went down, cal carter didn't have the old house band, and some like lefty bates were probably getting up there. i do know he loved to use al duncan on drums every time he could. of course tom-tom had his own favorites too.

  • i knew bobby rush and the shades of brown were on on-top,but i've never heard of these guys before! this one is SOO ZESTY!! lol! i gotta find my own copy of this one. CHICAGO SHINING EACH AND EVERY TIME!!!

  • yeah, i just lucked into finding this. never heard of them myself, but really like it.
