Biography by Steve Huey
Bassist Eldee Young and drummer Isaac "Red" Holt attended the American Conversatory of Music in Chicago together, and played together in a dance orchestra called the Cleffs, where they met pianist Ramsey Lewis and formed a popular jazz trio in 1956. After a decade as Lewis' rhythm section, Young and Holt split to form their own act in the wake of the trio's breakout pop hit "The 'In' Crowd." Hiring pianist Hysear Don Walker and christening themselves the Young-Holt Trio, they scored a quick Top 20 R&B hit with the infectious and silly "Wack Wack." Most of their material, recorded on several LPs for Brunswick, cut an invigorating soul-jazz groove that explored the territory between Jimmy Smith and Junior Walker, with dour bass, Ray Charles-inspired keyboards, faint scat vocals, and a live party ambience. In 1968, Walker was replaced by Ken Chaney as Young and Holt tightened up their sound, added some funky rhythms, and renamed the group Young-Holt Unlimited. They scored a left-field smash with the instrumental "Soulful Strut," which was actually the backing track from Brunswick soul singer Barbara Acklin's "Am I the Same Girl." Although the actual Young-Holt group was rumored not to have even played on the track, it went all the way to number three in 1969, driven by a bright, indelible horn riff. Attempts to duplicate its success met with indifference, and although Young-Holt Unlimited remained a popular concert attraction on both the R&B and jazz circuits (sometimes with pianist Bobby Lyle in place of Chaney), their recording career was on the wane. They cut LPs for Atlantic (1972's Oh Girl) and Paula (1973's Plays Superfly) that failed to restore their commercial momentum, and disbanded in 1974. Both Young and Holt reunited with Ramsey Lewis in 1983.

Biografía de Steve Huey
El bajista Eldee Young y el batería Isaac "Red" Holt estudiaron juntos en el American Conversatory of Music de Chicago y tocaron juntos en una orquesta de baile llamada The Cleffs, donde conocieron al pianista Ramsey Lewis y formaron un popular trío de jazz en 1956. Tras una década como sección rítmica de Lewis, Young y Holt se separaron para formar su propio grupo a raíz del gran éxito pop del trío, "The 'In' Crowd". Tras contratar al pianista Hysear Don Walker y bautizarse como Young-Holt Trio, consiguieron un rápido éxito en el Top 20 de R&B con la contagiosa y tonta "Wack Wack". La mayor parte de su material, grabado en varios LPs para Brunswick, tenía un vigorizante groove soul-jazz que exploraba el territorio entre Jimmy Smith y Junior Walker, con un bajo adusto, teclados inspirados en Ray Charles, tenues voces scat y un ambiente de fiesta en directo. En 1968, Walker fue sustituido por Ken Chaney mientras Young y Holt endurecían su sonido, añadían ritmos funky y rebautizaban el grupo como Young-Holt Unlimited. Consiguieron un gran éxito con el instrumental "Soulful Strut", que en realidad era la banda sonora de "Am I the Same Girl" de la cantante de soul de Brunswick Barbara Acklin. Aunque se rumoreaba que el grupo Young-Holt ni siquiera había tocado en la canción, ésta llegó al número tres en 1969, impulsada por un brillante e indeleble riff de trompeta. Los intentos de duplicar su éxito se toparon con la indiferencia, y aunque Young-Holt Unlimited siguió siendo una popular atracción de conciertos tanto en el circuito de R&B como en el de jazz (a veces con el pianista Bobby Lyle en lugar de Chaney), su carrera discográfica estaba en declive. Grabaron LPs para Atlantic (Oh Girl, 1972) y Paula (Plays Superfly, 1973) que no lograron recuperar su impulso comercial, y se disolvieron en 1974. Young y Holt se reunieron con Ramsey Lewis en 1983.
