Search - Sheppards :: Island of Love

Chicago's Phoenix

"The Sheppards made the transition from the end of doo wop to the birth of soul seamlessly. Their sound sometimes evokes the style of the Five Royales, then moves toward the harder edge of early soul, and it's always right on target. For a more complete selection, see Bunky's Picks, which has almost all these songs as well as the wonderful "Just Like You"."

This is a soul classic!

"I bought this album some ten years ago and reckon this as one of my favourite vocal group records. The Sheppards scored just one big hit(Island of love) in the sixties, but all these are classics in their own right. The blend of vocals are dynamic and emotional, with exciting lyrics, and backed by a great guitar. Listen to 'Just like you', 'Forgotten' and 'Tragic'(great lyric!) and marvel at these soul classics. This one should be in everyone's collection!"

May be it's Great
