I'm from the same neighborhood, know all of them. April 24, 2009
I have most of their original 45's,their sound is unique it has always been that way.these cornerboy's sang at my 17th birthday party in 1960 in my basement at my mother's house.You could always hear them harmonizing at Trusclair's barber shop at Franklin and Susquehanna ave in phila'I knew them all.I sang with a group called the Velours,but we didn't stay together as long as they did.To all you philly folks remember the Carmen skating rink,the Times Auditorium,the Blue Horizon,Barbers Hall,the nite-life at Broad and Erie etc,etc.Life was good back then.James Jackson.
Classic Soul: A Must-Have April 16, 2009
Other people have reviewed this very well. This CD has AMAZING stuff on it.
I just want to add one observation: How come a major classic like "Sad Girl" gets only 1:55 minutes and an absolute stinker like the "Mother and Child Reunion" gets 4:05? I deleted this clunker immediately.
I know, the original Sad Girl was only 1:55. The world would be a better place with a longer version of Sad Girl.
One of the Greatest R&B Groups March 23, 2009
The Intruders are one of the greatest R&B groups of all time. This entire album is track-to-track hits that you will surely love. I'd recommend this to all old-head music lovers of all ages.
Philly Soul September 22, 2008
The Intruders are one of the original groups of the Philly Soul mainstream explosion in the late 60's to mid 70's developing a soft, romantic, and easy-listening style, along with the Delfonics (my favorite group). The Delfonics were working with Thom Bell, while The Intruders worked with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. gamble and Huff gave the intruders some nice slower to mid-tempo grooves to harmonize to. This collective ranges from 1966 to 1974. "Together" (1967)is my choice song here, since I have no actual albums by them since they are so darn hard to find at a reasonable cost. "Together" has a nice mid-tempo beat with some fantastic horns and some outstanding harmonizing in the hook. It is one romantic song with clever lyrics (some about being lost together on an island and not even noticing it because the couple is so intensely in love). The lead crooner, Sam "Little Sonny" Brown has a unique tenor voice that fits the mold of the songs perfectly, especially in "Cowboys To Girls" (1968). I love the comparison of love to a sport, not to mention the awesome vocal arrangements and harmony of "(Love Is Like a)Baseball Game," (1968) Gamble and Huff even interpolate part of the "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" composition and blend it with their own original composition of the beats. "Slow Drag" (1968) is simple marvelous. The man in (possibly Brown himself?) moves to his own beat while trying to romance women, even though some people shun him for not being hip to their standards. As for the 1970's songs, "Teardrops" (1973) is a sad but romantic heart pouring slow jam. "I'll Always Love My Mama" (1973)is a sweet uptempo jam about being raised up with a wonderful mother, and all that she endured trying to make a good life for her son. "I Wanna Know Your Name" (1973) is a great soundtrack for a guy who has a crush on an anonymous lady he dearly wants to know. The guy portrayed in the song tells a little about himself (interests and tastes) and how he wants to dance with the cutie. The harmony in the chorus is unbelievably breathtaking. On a lighter not, I swear that these guys could sing about dog dookie and still sound great. All I can say, as a 26 year old who loves and is still learning about these great soul groups, is that these guys are immaculately talented, and this collection seriously aroused my interest in getting a hold of more of the intruders music because they really represent every facet of what is classic RnB.
