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, Texasin 1964. The same year the most iconic Chevy impala was built. I'm very proud tosay I'm an owner of one. Rondalis Tandy (lead vocal) teamed with three aspiringsingers, Wenzon Mosley (tenor), James Mays (bass) and Eddie Nixon (falsetto). Nixonleft prior to recording ‘No Man Is An Island’, which was the Van Dykes’ firstsingle, the prototype for many of their subsequent releases. This exquisite balladfeatured Tandy’s tight falsetto, while a sparse instrumental section emphasized thethree singers’ close harmonies and their indebtedness to the Impressions. The triofolded in 1968 following Tandy’s departure for California. This is another talentedgroup that fell apart too soon. Check out their other songs "Never let me go", "I'vegot to go on without you" & "Doing the best I can" thank you for Tooning In! Stayhumbled, embrace every moment.....
