The Exciters - Caviar and Chitlins (Remastered) (1969/2019) [Hi-Res]

Formed in Queens, NY in the early 1960s, The Exciters were a dynamic R&B quartet consisting of lead singer Brenda Reid and her producer/writer husband Herb Rooney, plus vocalists Carolyn Johnson and Lillian Walker. The group rose to prominence in 1962, when their hit single Tell Him rose to #4 on the U.S. pop chart. The Exciters continued releasing quality music for years, including their 1969 RCA album Caviar And Chitlins, a vintage slice of soul / R&B from perhaps the most important era in the genre's history. Incidentally, a few years later the album s producer Herb Rooney would go on to produce and write one of hip-hop's most sampled records ever, Synthetic Substitution by Melvin Bliss. Long out-ofprint, Caviar And Chitlins is now available on vinyl for the first time in decades. Discover it now thanks to this official reissue from Nature Sounds.
