{"product_id":"853580005183","title":"TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER B\/W DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT | 7IN VINYL","description":"\u003cp\u003eSharpees, The Sharpees \"Take Me To Your Leader\" b\/w \"Darkness Of The Night\" is the second in a series of 45s released in conjunction with The One-derful! Collection, a forthcoming series of six compilations marking the first in-depth look at brothers George and Ernie Leaner's Chicago based One-derful! Label group: Mar-V-Lus, M-Pac!, Halo, Midas, and Toddlin' Town, and One-derful!. While transferring the Leaner family's 250 master tapes, these unreleased tracks from The Sharpees stood up and demanded to be released. This pair of previously unreleased soul sides includes a relentlessly driving dance number and a stunning ballad full of beautiful vocal harmonies. The Sharpees, led by guitarist Benny Sharp, were one of St. Louis' most noteworthy R\u0026amp;B groups, with multiple members spending time performing and recording with Ike \u0026amp; Tina Turner. In 1965, they followed fellow St. Louis acts The Five Du-Tones and Alvin Cash north to Chicago and signed with One-derful! Records. Releasing songs like \"Do the 45\" and \"Tired of Being Lonely,\" they cracked the R\u0026amp;B charts and established a name in the US and overseas. These two unreleased tracks were recorded nearly a year after the group's first session at One-derful!. To respect these remarkable recordings and the label that produced them, we have faithfully replicated the One-derful! Label to make sure this record not only sounds, but also looks the way it would have, had it been released in 1967. This is just a sampling of the many great forthcoming tracks from the One-derful! Collection, so stay tuned!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHARPEES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48239357460725,"sku":"853580005183","price":7.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/853580005183","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
