Two superb deep soul cuts from Eddie Finley which appear to be his only 'known' releases and both came out on Dallas label Rapturea. Rapturea was run by Rev. Emmett J. Lee and, as you would imagine, the majority of release were gospel, in fact scanning through them I believe that they were all gospel except the 2 Eddie Finley releases. The label released an LP and around a dozen singles in the early 70s.
Discography
1970 - Eddie Finley - Sad Honored Night / The Creations Band - Heavy Hips [Rapurea HOS-100A]
1971 - Eddie Finlay & The Cincinatti Show Band - Treat Me Right Or Leave Me Alone / Clean Up Man [Rapturea 1521]
These 2 singles (for me) are the finest examples of deep soul you will find. Sad Honored Right I think came out first with a funky instrumental flip by The Creations Band. On Treat Me Right Or Leave Me Alone he is backed by The Cincinnati Show Band consisting of Bones Jones, Jimi Macon, Lawrence Leslie, Greg Ingram, Gary Humphrey and Ricky Sebastian. According to SirShambling CSB later became The Conspiracy releasing I Beieve (Our Love Has Gone Away) / The Real Thing on True Soul in 1973.
