Here’s a great moody mid ’60’s release by Cinci’s The Blue Dells. Buckeye Beat mentions the band was together from ‘66-’69 and had five members….no much info to add by me. Great tune!

The Blue Dells-Trust Me

Here’s some Cinci funk from the master…Bootsy Collins. This is an early one from him, prior to his LP releases most know him by.

Here’s a side on the FINCH label that has a ’50s sound to it….although it was released in 1977!

Johnny Thunder - Little Dog

THE REFLECTIONS —- CINCINNATI

For a Valentine’s Day post, I thought this ’60s tune might fit the bill. Not much info here other than what’s on the label. With Rusty York as producer makes me believe this may have been recorded in Cinci.

 

The Reflections- Love Is A Beautiful Thing

CHUCK GREGG —- CINCINNATI

 This is an interesting one for sure! Billed as The Unbelievable Chuck Gregg, this 45 was released with the work of famed Cinci artist Sonny Flaharty. I believe it hit the record store shelves sometime in the mid ’60s. Label states an attempt to bring back the ’50s sound. A good effort. I haven’t found much info on Chuck, but can tell you…the flip side is a bit of a warbler that only a mother could love (file it in the bad = cool genre).

The Unbelievable Chuck Greg-Insane

MARV LOCKARD —- CINCINNATI

DONALD MOORE —- CINCINNATI

From 1975 out of Cinci comes a decent northern soul side. I haven’t much info other than what’s on the label scan.
