The Four Sonics "It Takes Two" 45 Sport Records

from Musical Episode · host george myers

There's no Rob Base, DJ EZ Rock or Lyn Collins samples here but The Four Sonics put together a pretty rowdy little number that is, in context, definitely a great dance record. From the Ashes of the Velvet Angels (a group that credits their 45 with being "recorded in a jersey city hotel room"!) the Four Sonics -named after their production company cut a couple 45s on Sport Records, sometime home of the venerable Andre Williams, one of which we have here today. The vocal group origins of the Four Sonics is only a hair's breath away with an awesome, dominant bass performance by Jay Johnson but the record has a definite rollicking soul vibe that places the record pretty clearly in time, 1968 to be precise. Enjoy!
