Jimmy Phillips - Want A Love I Can See (Mod) [CD]

The Sons Of Robin Stone were a blue-eyed soul outfit that took Southwest Philadelphia by storm beginning in the early 1970s, and revolved around it's core of sensational vocalists: Jimmy Phillips (lead and first tenor), Joe Dougherty (lead, first and second tenor), Jim "Flick" Farrow (baritone and second tenor), John "Patcheye" Palladino (baritone) and Franny Flynn (bass). Visually as well as musically striking, their electrifying sets at Atlantic City's famed Steel Pier are the stuff of legend. They paved the way for acts such as New Kids On The Block and their influence is still felt today. Phillips was recently summoned into the studio by legendary producer Butch Ingram to record a brand-new EP featuring updated arrangements of three of the Sons Of Robin Stone's biggest hits as well as couple other beloved soul classics. Jimmy delivers a remarkable performance on The Temptations chestnut "I Want A Love I Can See," which was so good it was chosen as the lead single for the project.
