The cities of Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama were never major recording hubs but in the early 70s they issued some of the finest examples of southern soul. The Moonsong and Clintone labels of Birmingham and the GRC, Aware and Hotlanta imprints from Atlanta sported artists of the calibre of John Edwards, Bill Brandon, Lorraine Johnson and Loleatta Holloway. Those acts are all included on this CD, but it is the lesser-known performers who complete these labels' story.
