Four Wonders [1974] - Just Looking For My Love [Solid Foundation B 160001]
Smooth 70s modern soul on Solid Foundation out of Cleveland Ohio. Solid Foundation released 7 45s between 1972-74 by 6 different artists (although there are gaps in the Cat. No.s so perhaps there are others not listed?).
I wonder (no pun) whether the Imperial Wonders and Four Wonders are the same group? The Imperial Wonders in 1972 were originally 5 members so perhaps they lost a member and renamed the band Four Wonders. Complete speculation on my part.
There is a short bio for the Imperial Wonders at All Music which doesn't mention this, and in fact states that 2 of the 5 members of Imperial Wonders went on to join a band named Truth.
Curiously, as you may see on the label, it was claimed that the track was from LP 'I Can't Get Over You' with the catalogue number ESS102. It isn't listed anywhere so assume that the label folded before it was released. Interestingly though, the writers of these 2 sides, Eddie McGhee & John Brinson, wrote a song called 'I Can't Get Over You' which was recorded by The Dramatics in 1976, perhaps this was going to be the title track of the album? It's a great deep soul cut so I've tagged it to the end of this post.
Four Wonders [1974] - Haven't We Been Good For Each Other [Solid Foundation B 160001]
70's sweet soul group harmony.
The Dramatics [1976] - I Can't Get Over You [ABC AB-12258]
Superb deep soul cut which was written by Eddie McGhee and John Brinson (and Floyd Fleshman) and may have been scheduled for the Four Wonders album that never materialised?
