The record
Two tenors -- Houston Person and Earl Edwards -- over Johnny Hammond's organ, with Richard Landrum's congas thickening the bottom and Wally Richardson on guitar. The material leans hard on pop and soul tunes: 'To Sir With Love,' 'Hi Heel Sneakers,' 'Love Is A Hurtin' Thing,' 'Please Send Me Someone To Love.' Cal Lampley produced; Rudy Van Gelder cut the lacquer. Prestige stereo, 1968.
