One Of The Best Soul Groups You Never Heard 12 Jun 2000
By Steve Vrana - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of those albums that supports my contention that some of the best music ever recorded rarely gets heard. The closest thing The Wallace Brothers had to a hit single was when "Lover's Prayer" hit No. 97 in 1964. And the only reason I discovered this vocal group was by purchasing Dave Marsh's book The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made. Since 1989 I've been tracking down each of these singles. [I've found all but four.] In 1996 Excello released all of The Wallace Brothers' Sims recordings from 1964 to 1967.

"Precious Words" was the single Marsh chose for inclusion in his book (at #934). Recorded in 1964, The Wallace Brothers were still in their mid-teens, but their vocal performance belies their age. This is a soulful love song driven by a simple organ with occasional piano flourishes, their voices harmonizing beautifully.

Contrary to the Amazon review, there is little slick or polished about this. Instrumentation (usually organ, piano and sax) is sparse. The emphasis is on the vocals. This is raw, unpolished soul. The Wallace Brothers succeeded with pure emotion and intensity. But isn't that what you're looking for in soul music? Powerful stuff. RECOMMENDED

Gems From A Tiny Label 13 Sep 2005
By Haldree P. Just-Buddy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Sims Records a now defunct Nashville label maybe the most unsuccessful record company in history. (That is with Chart success).

The Wallace Bros set has all the groups singles and some album cuts as well. If you are a fan, you'll like this package, if not save your money.
