Unity [2023] - The Other Side of You / Going To A Carnival [Soul Direction #SD018]

Soul Direction has recently released two singles from The Decisions who originated from Atlanta, GA,: "That Girl" / "Come Round Here" (SD-013 Nov '22) and "We're In Love" / "I Love You"(SD-005 Jul '21)

After releasing a couple of singles on their own York label in 1969 they were signed to Sussex Records and released three singles in 1971-72. They left Sussex after the third single in 1972 and re-formed as Unity who released just one single in 1973, "We Can Make It" / "Too Young", on a label set up by group member Fred White called Apex.

Soul Direction's Alan Kitchener has been given access to tapes recorded by Unity around 1973-75 consisting of previously unreleased sweet soul ballads and crossover soul. The first two songs, both written by Fred White who has made the tapes available, are set for release on 11 Aug with others lined up for future release.

The A side is a good uptempo number "The Other Side Of You" featuring Henry Little Jr. on lead vocals paired with a falsetto led sweet soul ballad "Going To A Carnival" with Fred White on lead vocals.

Only two of the group members are still with us, Fred White and Howard Simson as Harvey Pool Henry Little Jr. and Hildred Thomason are sadly now departed.

The single is lined up for release on 11 Aug '23 and will be available from the Soul Direction website. 

By the way, it's great to see that the Melvin Davis single, the proceeds of which were donated towards his healthcare bills, has now sold out!
