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
The Roy Knight Singers, “Little David”, 1985, Supreme #SS 33042
Judy Hagan, “For Those Tears I Died”, Benson Sound

Where in the world did you get that picture? I just typed my name in Yahoo and got your web site. I about died. That is funny but that was the hair do of the day. I was keeping up with the Joneses[ha]. Thanks for a good laugh.

PS: I still sing, but have never made another project, as it is called today, but I use others soundtrax and sing at a lot of senior events a little at my church. I am getting old. THANKS!
