@MediaMogul Жыл бұрын
Mr. Al Wilson was never on the Motown Label. This release was issued on the "Rocky Road Records"label - Started life in 1971 as the Carousel label, but changed their name to Rocky Road shortly after releasing their first hit record, due to a conflict in label names that surfaced when the hit record appeared. The label was owned by Marc Gordon , a veteran in the music business who had worked for years at Motown, and distributed by Bell Records.. The label had a limited roster of artists signed to them, the most notable being Climax and Al Wilson, but they also released singles by the Grasshoppers, Viva, Holly Sherwood, Sugar, Johnny Stevenson, the Dream Machine, Sweet Grass, and Formula IV. Rocky Road lasted until 1975, when Climax disbanded.

Al worked very diligently to get as far as he did in Pop music, it should have been even bigger than it was. Post- "Show and Tell" he hooked up with Marvin Gaye during the "Got to Give it Up" tour. Al was the 2nd most recognizable male back ground singer Marv ever worked with (aside from Freddie Gorman). Very dynamic persona, every girl was grabbing for him onstage during the shows. The fervor he created reminded me of Chuck Jackson with Eddie Kendrick's onstage posing. Just one of those southern artists who toiled quietly to emerge into such a powerhouse. Al is one artist I could listen to all day, everyday, never be another.
