Esquires, The

Get On Up And Get Away

Family vocal group the Esquires was formed in Milwaukee in the late 1950s; by the time they moved to Chicago to launch their recording career the group featured Gilbert Moorer, Alvis Moorer, and Sam Pace and although Curtis Mayfield turned them down, Bunky Sheppard recognised their potential, their debut single Get On Up a smash hit that led to the recording of this brilliant debut album, an excellent collection of upbeat melodic soul with the groups vocal harmonies in the spotlight. Further permutations would follow but Get On Up And Get Away captures the group in its illustrious beginning, full of shining joy. A top-notch release!
