Soul Toronados

Very talented hammond-funk band out of Akron, Ohio. Consisted of Charles who played drums and Bobby on Hammond/Organ. They recruited James Crawford as a guitarist but left soon because he couldn't keep up the hard practicing the Heller twins did. They found James 'Boots' Smith and got him into the band. After some years, Ernest Burt discovered the bands talent and hired them to release Go For Yourlsef b/w Funky Thing in 1969 on Burt Records. They recorded Hot Pants Brakedown b/w Boot's Groove a little later. This was released on Magic City recordings, also owned by Burt. In the Mid -70's. They recorded their third release, Crazy Legs b/w Bobby's Mood. But this recording escaped the Magic City vaults for some reason and ended up in the hands of Ernie Malick of the Westwood label under dubious circumstances.
