About Sunlovers
Genre
Dance
An obscure Los Angeles-based group that recorded five singles on three labels. The members were Huey Bell Jr., Louise Bell, John Gibson, and Lawrence Ivey. One of the members is deceased, but all I can tell you is that it's not Huey. He's alive, seemingly well, but untalkative in Los Angeles. (Not uncommon, the music business can be traumatic and many ex-participants prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.) They debuted June 1967 with "My Poor Heart" on Mutt & Jeff Records, which started taking off in Southern/Northern California and surrounding States. The label leased it to Breakthrough Records a month later and released another Sunlovers' single with the same catalog number entitled "You'll Never Make the Grade" with the same flip, "This Love of Ours," a sweet ballad. "My Poor Heart" was more mellow than the up-tempo "You'll Never Make...," an up-tempo dancer. Neither became more than a local/regional success, nor did a third Mutt & Jeff single "I'll Treat You Right." "Main Street" on Revue Records in 1969 appears to be their final release. Foreign and domestic labels are quite aware of the Sunlovers and you'll find their few tracks on many compilation albums via labels like Goldmine/Soul Supply, Presto Bar, Dynamite, etc. ~ Andrew Hamilton
