Soul Toronados • The Complete Recordings

Akron, Ohio based hammond-funk band.
Members:
Bobby Heller
Charles Heller
James 'Boots' Smith

The Heller brothers played drums and organ together in Akron, Ohio since they were kids. Their family home was known to travelling musicians such as Jimmy Smith and Brother Jack McDuff as a place where they could kick back, sample some homemade soul food and maybe grab some sleep. That is if the brothers hadn't managed to persuade them to teach them some musical tricks! So with America's finest soul and jazz musicians as their teachers, the brothers formed The Soul Toronados with two school friends. In 1969, during their teenage years, they took the opportunity to sign a recording contract with a local producer and, one all-night session later, enough music to make three 45s was recorded: chugging bass, scratchy guitar of course a screaming top end organ that's pitched just right! The rare originals have now been collectors items for years, commanding high prices by DJs and collectors around the world.

Los hermanos Heller tocaron la batería y el órgano juntos en Akron, Ohio, desde que eran niños. Su hogar familiar era conocido por músicos que viajaban como Jimmy Smith y el Hermano Jack McDuff como un lugar donde podían descansar, probar algo de comida casera para el alma y tal vez dormir un poco. ¡Eso es si los hermanos no hubieran logrado convencerlos de que les enseñaran algunos trucos musicales! Así que con los mejores músicos de soul y jazz de Estados Unidos como maestros, los hermanos formaron The Soul Toronados con dos amigos de la escuela. En 1969, durante su adolescencia, aprovecharon la oportunidad para firmar un contrato de grabación con un productor local y, una sesión que duró toda la noche más tarde, se grabó suficiente música para hacer tres años 45: el bajo de la guitarra, la guitarra áspera, por supuesto, un extremo superior de gritos órgano que se lanzó justo a la derecha! Los originales raros ahora han sido artículos de coleccionistas durante años, con altos precios de DJ y coleccionistas de todo el mundo.
