What's up welcome to Soul Sundays! Today's selection is " No man is an Island" & "You need confidence" by "The Vandykes" This group was formed in Fort Worth, Texas in 1964. The same year the most iconic Chevy impala was built. I'm very proud to say I'm an owner of one. Rondalis Tandy (lead vocal) teamed with three aspiring singers, Wenzon Mosley (tenor), James Mays (bass) and Eddie Nixon (falsetto). Nixon left prior to recording ‘No Man Is An Island’, which was the Van Dykes’ first single, the prototype for many of their subsequent releases. This exquisite ballad featured Tandy’s tight falsetto, while a sparse instrumental section emphasized the three singers’ close harmonies and their indebtedness to the Impressions. The trio folded in 1968 following Tandy’s departure for California. This is another talented group that fell apart too soon. Check out their other songs "Never let me go", "I've got to go on without you" & "Doing the best I can" thank you for Tooning In! Stay humbled, embrace every moment.....
