All We Need Is Another Chance

• Track Listing

Of all the sweet and satin-voiced groups to grace the R&B charts in the early to mid-'70s, The Escorts have one distinction (which some consider somewhat dubious) of being the one and only team to have started their recording career behind bars! Any discussion of the seven-man group has inevitably focused on that fact but beyond the circumstances of their recording situation, The Escorts' work actually merits considerable acclaim and praise. Listening to these 1973 recordings, it's evident that The Escorts - aided by renowned producer George Kerr - made some fine music, from covers of tunes popularized primarily by the Miracles such as "Ooh Baby Baby," to original songs such as "All We Need Is Another Chance" written specifically for the group.
