REVIEW
Once ‘The !!!! Beat’ was only a legend. Fans and collectors heard that there was a television show in the mid-1960s that captured the absolute best of the soul and R&B singers of the day. Musicians remembered working on the show and a few people remembered seeing it – but no one seemed to know what had happened to it.
Now, nearly forty years later Bear Family answers all these questions. All the episodes still exist! It really was a fabulous show! It really was in colour! It really did feature the best of the soul and R&B acts of the day! And whereas once just fragments of the shows made their way onto bootlegs, now the entire series is available in first-generation quality. There were 26 shows, and many of the performances were live in the studio with a backup band led by the terrific Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown.
