The album is called Ever Ready, Johnny Taylor and Mr Melody Maker.

Written by Arnold Ingram and Don Davis.

From gospel in the 50s to soul disco decades later and covering genres like blues, R&B, soul and gospel to pop and doo-wop.

At Stax Records he had a number of R&B hits and later with Columbia Records reached number one on the US pop charts with a massive hit called Disco Lady in 1976.

Taylor instantly recognized Banks' exceptional talent.

They teamed up under Solid Hit Bounce Production, a production company that Taylor had formed with musician, songwriter and fellow producer Don Davis and sound engineer George Taylor.

No relation to Lou Barron.

A deal was struck with our dentist slash nightclub owner, Doc Murphy.

So in an unexpected twist of music history, Revolut didn't just launch Daryl Banks, its messy demise gave birth to Parliament Funkadelic and subsequently P-Funk.

Complete bankruptcy finally hit Revolut in early 1969 and the label's assets were liquidated with Atlantic Records stepping in to buy up the masters and contracts.

But before that, Luberon Taylor and Don Davis desperately tried to stay afloat by releasing single after single from their stockpile of tape from the 1967 sessions, giving us fantastic sides, like the Parliament's Don't Be Sore at Me, a record still admired and much loved today.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
