DESCRIPTION
Best of the Softones album was released Sep 10, 1996 on the Amherst label. The easy harmony sounds of Baltimore's Softones – Marvin Brown, Steve Jackson, Elton Lynch, and Byron Summerville – enjoyed limited popularity in the States, rarely ranging beyond the boundaries of the East Coast. Under Hugo & Luigi guidance, they scored with a fancy reworking of That Old Black Magic on H & L Records, but got labeled as remake artists and Hugo & Luigi studio puppets – the producers/writers who stifled the Stylistics' record sales in the States. Best of the Softones CD music contains a single disc with 17 songs.
