Strange Voice - The Imaginations


Recommended Posts

Here's a strange one!

"Strange Voice" by The Imaginations on Fraternity 1278-45-1006B

Is it a misprint of "Strange Neighbourhood"1278-45-F1001-A or a different record?  Different release number so could be a different song?!

Just answering my own question by playing "Strange Voice" on Youtube. Different song but it is a very good slowie😊.                     

Bet someone could easily get caught out with this and buy the wrong record, especially after a few pints!🤔

INFO FROM DISCOGS ...

The Imaginations (Fraternity) were an R&B vocal group from Dayton, Ohio 1966-1971. The group was lead by Robert Alvarez, who had been in the Del-Vikings. . After he left that group, he moved to Dayton (having been in the Air Force) and started this set of Imaginations. He found some younger singers, still in high school, to form the group. The other members were Dave Peoples, Freddie Williams, and Charles Smith. Williams and Peoples were students at Dunbar High School at the time.

The Imaginations (20th Century) were a Chicago soul vocal quartet, one of a number of Chicago groups produced by Clarence Johnson's Star-Vue Productions. The group's genesis was in the ashes of another Star-Vue act, Brighter Side Of Darkness: after "Love Jones" became a hit, most of the group was fired after a legal dispute with their label; Arthur Scales, Jesse Harvey, and Nathaniel Pringle were hired as replacements. After "Brighter Side"s breakup, Johnson hired Tyrone Stewart as lead singer, re-christening them as The Imaginations.
