The Soul Brothers - Wooly Bully Again1965 –1966
(Continued beyond 1966 with A new group of musicians)
As with most Winston-Salem bands, when a musician leaves a band, a substitute was found. In some cases, the name of the band is changed.
All the members of The Soul Brothers came from previous bands. Who called who is not recorded in the annals of North Carolina band history.
The Soul Brothers recorded a 7” 33 1/3 RPM vinyl record with 6 songs on it.
Copies of that recording are still in existence.
At appearances they performed songs made famous by Junior Walker & The All Stars, The Seekers, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and other groups. If a song was playing on the radio, then it was most likely performed by The Soul Brothers.

Hello, anyone home?
Love the blog. Miss the blog.
Cheers,

I'm home - in Florida.
This is Jimmie, a member of several North Carolina bands of ages past - - - The Soul Brothers, Tommy Hailey and The Monotones, The Tu-Pairs, and others.
Still writing/recording songs, and creating videos.
Hi Jimmie,
I was wondering if you remember anything about my dad's band called the "Cyclones"? He has told me a lot about the Carolina Theater and the HI-Fi dances. He still plays guitar for his own enjoyment.
Thanks,
Kathy Taylor
