In May 1970, Chip Hawkins, Larry Carter, Nickie Parker, Lewis Blackledge, H.J. Chustz, Al Carlow, and Mark Simon were members of the New Substantial Evidence Show Band (but not signed or recorded). They were one of the six finalists of the Tea Council of the U.S.A. Big Search for a New Sound, and the lineup of judges included, Al Bell of Stax Records.

They were obviously signed & recorded by Stax (with a name change) and produced by Don Nix for there outing with ‘If You Look Into My Eyes’ (James T. Tierce-[Ted Tierce]) / ’So Easy To See’(Nickie Parker, Robert Mark Simon) -Stax  STA-0081 Sept 1970. It was probably one of Don Nix’s first producer assignments becuase he signed with Stax/Volt in Oct 1970.

Herb Ryals sells for £30 or less. Really good track but not even semi-known such is its obscurity. Never heard it played out. One of those records that deserves spins and would arouse interest with a few plugs. He also released something on RCA so was seen as a potential talent back in the 60’s.
