The record

Vibes out front over organ, piano, guitar and Fender bass, with two trumpets -- Eddie Williams and Wilbur Bascomb Sr. -- adding punch. Joanne Brackeen takes the piano chair, Dave Blume the organ. Freddie McCoy's program is pop-heavy: 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale,' 'You Keep Me Hanging On,' 'I Was Made To Love Her,' with 'Doxy' the outlier. Prestige, 1968.
