Hailing from Toxteth in Liverpool, the original quartet – brothers Eddy and Chris Amoo, Dave Smith and Ray Lake – was sometimes dubbed ‘The Black Beatles’ in the British press, but their distinctive transatlantic vocal sound and good looks brought them a completely different audience.
A documentary about the group’s amazing career “Everything – The Real Thing Story”, directed by Simon Sheridan, premiered in London’s West End in October 2019 and led to the release of “Someone Oughta Write a Song (About You Baby)” written by Ken Gold and Mick Denne and recorded in the autumn of 1976, but never previously heard before.
