The Rance Allen Group - Brothers album flac

The Rance Allen Group did not christen its third Stax LP Brothers solely because it boasts some of the most extraordinary sibling harmonies ever committed to wax. Instead, the title invokes the brotherhood of all mankind, appealing to the universal consciousness in the name of spiritual unity and racial harmony

The group consists of brothers: Rance Allen (b. Rance Lee Allen, 19th November 1948, Monroe, Michigan, . lead vocals, piano, guitar) Tom Allen (b. Thomas Esau Allen, Monroe, Michigan, . vocals, drums) and Steve Allen (b. Steven C. Allen, 1st May 1952, Monroe, Michigan, . vocals, electric guitar).

The Rance Allen group were one of the pioneers of the gospel/soul crossover. Their influence on the gospel world is massive, especially on the next generation of gospel to come out of their native Detroit, the Clark Sisters, the Winans and others. As such when Be Be Winans topped the pop charts with Eternal (as he did a couple of years back), or appears with house producers Masters At Work, as he has on this years monster floor-filler Lean On Me, Rance Allen’s presence is being felt.

The Rance Allen Group (RAG) is one of the most explosive groups to emerge from the legendary Stax Records label in the 1970s  . The album remains a brisk seller six years later. Outside of including two medleys of their past hits, the new set is comprised of future classics such as You That I Trust and Angel. Joining RAG for the musical merry-go-round are Gospel’s First Lady, Shirley Caesar; veteran gospel star Vanessa Bell Armstrong; and the life of any musical party, Paul Porter.

Guitar playing Rance Allen, alongside brothers Tom on drums and Steve on bass, came to Stax in 1971 after being spotted in a gospel talent contest in their native Detroit by veteran promotions man Dave Clark. He, alongside Toby Jackson, cut an album with the band immediately and brought it to Stax. Once again a Temptations number was given the treatment. For the fourth album for Stax it seems a decision was made to cross the group over. The album: A Soulful Experience is one of the finest albums ever released by Stax, a blend of soul and gospel as good as anything recorded by the Staple Singers.
