Move With the Groove – Hardcore Chicago Soul (1962-1970)

By webmaster On Feb 16, 2025

Seminal soul from one of Chicago’s greatest labels in the 60s – the One-Der-Ful/Mar-V-Lus imprints, plus tracks from related Toddlin Town too – home to some of the best indie work at the time! The quality here is right up there with the best you’d hear from Chess, Okeh, or Brunswick in the 60s – no surprise, since the pair of labels shared lots of similar talents with the bigger companies, and producers too! The full scope of Chicago soul is really covered here – upbeat groovers for the dancefloor, heartfelt ballads with great harmonies, and some of the harder-edged bluesy numbers that really helped put One-Der-Ful on the map! There’s also some key early examples of funk proof that in the 60s, Chicago was one of hippest scenes in the world!
