The next track, "Party" comes from Washington DC-based Wilson Castle. Recorded in 1969, it sums up the closing era of peace and love (with a nod to John Lennon). Not bad for a group of teenagers.
Front and center in the Soul Spotlight this time is something of a mystery band. We don't know a lot about Zeke and the Soul Setters, save that they were based in Richmond, VA. Nevertheless, they produced a great lo-fi instrumental, and we have it. "Make My Love a Hurtin' Thing."
We finish with a group of young youngsters. If the lead singer of the Electric Sunshine sounds a little like Donny Osmond back in the day, there's a reason -- he's only nine years old. In fact, that was the average age of the entire band when they recorded their tracks in the 1960's. Now that's remarkable!
