Mojobo [2023] - Say You Will / I Know [Soul Brother #SB7053]

The third 45 reissue from Soul Brother is another rarity. We found only five listed on Popsike which now fetch approaching four figures.

Like Crystal Clear, Mojoba also only released two singles on Polydor. This was their second in 1977 which followed "Keep The Funk A Flowin'" /  "Disco Music" (disco funk from 1976).

Their name is a derived from the three members' surnames: Sam Ray Mosley, Bob Johnson (who went on to record as Mosey & Johnson) and Doris Badie, who only actually featured on the flip to "Say You Will", "I Know" which was the official A side and is a bit of a southern soul beater). The three had sung together earlier as  Bob & Sam & The Soulmen feat. Doris Badie.

Badie recorded a solo single for Polydor in 1977, "Why Is Leaving You So Hard To Do", which she wrote and recorded with Bob & Sam & The Soulmen feat. Doris Badie. It was reissued by Garry Cape on Hit and Run in 2011 along with another song written by her and recorded by the group on their 1971 album "Mississippi Mud".

The 'in-demand' side has always been "Say You Will" which has shades of The Isleys' "For The Love Of You".
