The Uplifters, “Guided By the Footprints”, 1985, ECP # 2097

The other day I found The Uplifters & the Polston Family side by side at a thrift store and assumed at first it was the same visually challenged group…. but it was not.  A dig through the BizarreRecords archive turned up a few other groups from the time when giant glasses went hand in hand with giant hair.

The Polston Family, “Featuring ‘Well Glory’ and ‘The Singing Family’”, Alpha #7908-4

The Merits, “A Brand New Touch”, Rainbow #2506

I took these pics of records from someone’s great collection at the MSP Music Expo in Minneapolis. I’m just now posting them! Of course I forgot the guy’s name who they belonged to, so if you see this send me an email so I can give you credit!

Bobbi Jean White
“Higher Ground!”
Skylite #6064

From the Back Cover:
Her name should be Bobbi Soul instead of Bobbi Jean because that’s what you hear when she belts forth a song… soul, soul, soul! When Bobbi sings… you listen and drink in the magnificent powerfulness… the emphasis of each word! Suddenly, all too soon the song has ended. You sit quietly and hope she sings another… and another… and another. Perhaps it was a personality just like Bobbi that the composer had in mind when he wrote “We’ve Got a Great, Big, Wonderful God”. As Bobbi often says, “I may be big, but I have a much bigger God!
