Matadors Say Yes Baby Chavis




Once again, there were a few groups with the name of the Matadors. There was a group on Eko, another on Jamie and one with a lead singer called Harold Bass who recorded for Keith and also backed Jackie Wilson on his Brunswick outing "She's Allright". There is also the group who recorded a Bull and The Matadors and had 3 sides on the Chicago label Toddlin' Town.

The version of the Matadors on Chavis appear to have had only one release back in 1963 and it is a lovely piece of old-fashioned soul.
