“Church Street Soul Revival” #104 2/7/1970

Tommy James co-wrote and co-produced this track for a relatively unknown band from Richmond, KY whose version bubbled under. Tommy later did it himself as the B-side of his biggest solo hit. The Exiles shortened their name and had a #1 pop hit in 1978 with “Kiss You All Over” before having 10 #1’s on the 1980’s country charts. I once saw Exile open for Aerosmith in Roanoke, VA as a rock act, and again a few years later at our county fair in Woodstock, VA headlining as a country group.
