Brothers Of Soul On Detroit Public Access Tv In 1968

Posted

I'm super excited to share this with all of you! It is likely the only extant video footage of the Brothers of Soul. I spent a long ass time trying to track down this footage, and just about as long getting it into a format that I could share with others. Definitely worth it though, as in my mind it's a supremely important historical document of one of Detroit's finest vocal groups.

    Fabulous footage, check this out, WVON Show from that period also featuring the Creations aka 'The Brothers of Soul'  which would date this to 67/8 perhaps... gives that TV appearance a real context,

Loads of great footage on that site

Indeed it was from Bob that I first heard that this footage existed. I've been searching for it ever since. It was once on the internet, unfortunately they took the show with the Brothers of Soul footage down from their website a while ago for whatever reason. You'll notice if you go through the episode you posted the Brothers of Soul's performance is absent.

Just checked now on desktop (no flash player on iPad) and the shows are still there but at an hour apiece you just have to go through them to find the relevant bits.

Long live these guys, really great, unsung heroes or what?

 

After too many years of hearing their music thru less than sophisticated systems in less than sophisticated venues its great to see them in their prime :thumbup:  :thumbup:  :thumbup:  :thumbup:
