“Smoke” is a soul vocal group from Kansas City even though soul music was not as popular at that time. The band includes Larry Brown who is also a member of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, and Melvin Manning who is the younger brother of Marva Whitney. This album was originally released in 1976 and reissued by P-VINE 24 years ago as an LP. We decided to present it again for sweet soul lovers all over the world as a limited edition LP with an OBI strip. The outstanding slow ballad “I’m So Lonely” proves this LP is not only rare but also has perfect quality!
