- 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL - FIRST REISSUE SINCE 1964! Major Lance was one of the leading ?gures of Chicago Soul during the 0s and the top-selling artist for OKeh Records during the decade. During this time, the majority of his songs were written by his childhood friend Curtis May?eld. Fittingly for Major Lance's smooth voice, May?eld crafted urban, uptown and polished songs like "The Monkey Time" and "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um". Major Lance's mid-sixties output consists of some of the most popular good-time R&B of its era. The Impressions sing background on most of the tracks on Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um (1964). MOV's re-release of this timeless classic is the ?rst reissue since its original release!
