“There’s Gonna Be A Showdown” by Archie Bell and The Drells - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1969 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
According to the front cover image, Archie has 3 Drells to complete his vocal harmony group for this one. Their brand of soul pop is all very sweet, set to some very precise cabaret funk from Gamble and Huff’s sessioneers. Bet they had some good moves worked out too…
