Once again, Soul Junction have dipped back into the Scot-Tees, Capri master tapes to bring to you two previously unissued tracks, the late 60’s dancer “My Sweet Polly” performed by The Scott Brothers coupled with a previously unheard studio version of Judson Moore’s popular crossover dancer “Everybody Push & Pull”.
The Scott Brothers began as a vocal quartet formed during 1958 under the performing name of the ’Elpeccios’ after a subsequent name change to the ‘Masquerades’ they were discovered while singing in a North Side Club by Don Talty. Talty as the owner of the Formal Record label signed the them up and recorded two 45’s on them. A further 45 appeared on the Joyce label before in late 1963 the group made the decision to quit as a vocal ensemble and learn to play some instrument’s thus becoming the Scott Brothers Band, a respected mainstay of the Chicago club scene throughout the 60’s through to the mid 1980’s. The Scott’s returned in 1968 to record a self-penned vocal outing for the Mercury subsidiary Smash label entitled “My Day Has Come” the line up on this release was Charles Scott (drums), Howard and Tommy Scott (bass guitarists), Walter Scott (rhythm guitar) and bass vocalist Ike Hickman. During the same year Howard formed the Capri Records Production company and it is from one of these initial recording sessions that “My Sweet Polly” was found with Howard as the featured vocalist. The Sweet Polly in question was none other than a former girlfriend of Howard’s from Rockford Illinois, belated fame now having arrived for Howard’s former main squeeze.
Judson Moore was born in Forrest City, Arkansas. Following his graduation from Lincoln Senior High School he entered military service in the United States Air Force. Following his honourable discharge from the service Judson found a greater interest in performing as a singer. During this initial period of performing in several Chicago Night Clubs Judson was introduced to the Scott Brothers which in turn led to him joining their Capri Productions company. During his time with the Capri Productions he released two 45 singles the self- penned songs “Everybody Push & Pull/Confidence” on the Capri label and the A.C. Carson penned “Lisa/Groovy Thing” on another of the Scott’s label imprints Chicago Music Bag Records. “Everybody Push And Pull” is a joyous dance instruction song thought to have been influenced by Rufus Thomas’s hit “Do The Push And Pull” the featured version on this 45 release is a previously unissued studio version with vocal accompaniment by the inhouse musicians known collectively as the Al-Tog Staff. Judson’s records gained a fairly good following throughout the Midwest with Chicago’s WVON radio station presenter Herb Kent ‘The Cool Gent’ being a great supporter of Judson’s records.
