The Globetrotters- The Globetrotters - Orange
The Most Famous Sports Team in History ON RECORD... Pressed on orange vinyl. - First "official" release in over 50 years. Inspired by the smash hit "Sugar Sugar", by the cartoon pop band The Archies, CBS TV were only too keen to sign-up Don Kirshner's Globetrotters recordings as the soundtrack to the all-new Saturday morning Harlem Globe Trotters cartoon series that ran from 1971-72. The TV series - the album and companion singles - were a huge commercial success and 22 episodes were produced by Hanna-Barbera. It was the first Saturday morning show to feature an African-American cast and the soundtrack was suitably soulful, upbeat and funky. One of the main writers, James Ralph Bailey, was a former member of the Cadillacs and famed for penning songs for Main Ingredient and Isaac Hayes. Bailey is also none other than Chuck Wood, writer and singer, of the Northern Soul anthem "Seven Days Too Long"?. With guest vocals by Globetrotter legend Meadowlark Lemon this exclusive vinyl reissue will certainly set the ball rollin'! - Produced by Brill Building legend JEFF BARRY (writer of ten U.S. #1's) - Written by Barry, Neil Sedaka, Howard Greenfield and James R Bailey - Soundtrack to the Hanna-Barbera hit TV series with a global audience
