    Have you ever heard of a duo called Kool Blues? They are a duo that remains reminds me of another duo call Sam and Dave. Kool Blues are two singers named John Prim and William Gilbert. They are a soul duo that remind me of Sam and Dave when they sing a song titled “I'm Gonna Keep On Loving You." It's a song that was released in 1972 on Capsoul Records.

    Some of you might remember Kool Blues and their songs and some of you may not. It's my first time hearing them and their song I'm Gonna Keep On Loving You. It's a song that's new to me. It's like a new oldie to add onto the playlist.

    So when you have time, give Kool Blues a listen. They have other great songs too.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Podcast Oldies Show.

    Welcome to the Podcast Oldies Show. Today you hear about a group call Black Ivory.
    Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Black Ivory was originally known as the Mellow Souls and formed in Harlem New York in the summer of 1969. The group got their start by auditioning over the phone with musician Patrick Adams. Adams began to train and develop the group.

    The group featured songwriter and prolific disco producer Leroy Burgess, Stewart
    Bascombe, and Russell Patterson. They were managed by Patrick Adams and executive at the Today/Perception record company. Burgess was the lead voice of the majority of their hits in the early 1970s. Their 1972 debut album Don't Turn Around became a top 20 hit spending 19 weeks on the Billboard R&B albums chart and peeking at number 13. Black Ivory scored three top 40 R&B hits in 1972 including the singles Don't Turn Around (number 38) and You and I (number 32) from their debut album.

    The group recorded several uptempo songs in the disco vein, such as "Big Apple Rock", "Walking Downtown (On a Saturday Night)", "What Goes Around (Comes Around)" and, later, "Mainline" but, not being known for the style, they were unable to compete when disco became the dominant music style.

    I love some of the group ballads such as: You Mean Everything To Me.
    In 1995, the group reunited and returned to the stage on the Classic Soul circuit, featuring all three original members, with Stuart Bascombe doing most of the leads.

    Why can't we? The lyrics are pretty good lyrics. It's a great song to listen to. They sound like a very good group.
