Get Away With The Esquires

Description

Discover The Esquires. The most complete compilation ever made of this Chicago/Milwaukee R&B group. 26 remastered tracks, so funky they turn sidewalks into dance floors! "The Esquires offered harmonies so tight and rhythms so irresistible that they felt like a unit you could dance on." Hit Parader Magazine, October 1967. "The Esquires didn't just tell you to get up - they proved that Chicago soul could compete with that of Detroit and Memphis, with impeccable elegance and even more impactful singing." Producer Bunky Sheppard! In the abundant constellation of late 60s soul, The Esquires shone with a typically Chicagoan brilliance: impeccable suits, even sharper harmonies, and rhythms crafted for both the dancefloor and the street. Their 1967 hit, Get On Up, wasn't just a regional success; it was a statement that Midwest soul could rival the refinement of Motown and the raw energy of Memphis.
