Act One - Friends or lovers.wmv

Act One were put together by New York writer, producer, arranger Raeford Gerald, and their early 45s and only album for Spring are prime examples of Big Apple sweet soul. 'Friends or lovers' was their first 45, and the combination of Geralds big production on his own strong song and some excellant harmonies behind a searing lead vocal propelled it to #22 on the R&B charts early in 1973. Like so many groups, personell changes in Act One were a regular occurrence and it's hard now to say precisely who was singing on what recording. But Gerald himself - who in addition to his other talents, was a fine vocalist in his own right - is probably on this recording somewhere. Other singers involved with the group included Leroy Reed , Debbi Hill , Bobby Harris , Roger Terry , Chester Fortune , George Parker , Reginald Ross and Terry Huff. These last four became Special Delivery, and Huff's exquisite high tenor turned their Mainstream recordings later in the decade into some of the best slow group music ever. Act One's big record was, of course, 'Tom the peeper', a huge dance hit in the UK.
