A marvelous piece of crossover soul 'Baby, Take My Hand' flipped with
another crossover tune 'Mary's Party' from Douglas & Lonero is being
reissued by Global Soul on 26 Mar 2021.
It may seem a long way off yet but these limited edition vinyl presses often sell out via pre-order so if you want one the I'd advise pre-ordering at Global Soul, otherwise play the lottery to buy a re-sale one on Discogs!
Ronny Douglas and Bobby (Robert Joseph) Lonero got together in 1971 and
released 2 singles on Columbia in 1971 & 1972 and their last on RCA in
1975. They also released a live album in 1973 'Live At Charlie Brown's' on
Haji (an independent Hollywood label) which was predominantly cover
versions.
Ronny Douglas released a few of solo singles in the 60s/70s on various
labels.
Bobby Lonero also released a handful of singles in the late 50s/early
60s and was a member of The Prime Ministers who released
'I Don’t Know No More' /
'Make Up'
on RCA Victor in 1967 - A side is a skippy' Chicago style Impressions
sound-a-like tune and B side is sort of mid-tempo soul harmony /
crossover.
The Prime Ministers were: Ronnie Barron (lead vocal, piano), Fred
Staehle (drums), Jerry Jumonville (saxophone), Wayne DeVilliere (organ),
Bobby Lonero (guitar) and Eddie Zip (bass, saxophone).
