1968

GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE * WILMER ALEXANDER, JR. AND THE DUKES * APHRODISIAC 260 * USA

The first of, what would seem like, only four releases (and an album) on the Buffalo based Aphrodisiac label, all of which were by Wilmer & The Dukes. A multiracial outfit from upstate New York that formed in 1961 who eventually disbanded in the 1970s, Wilmer & The Dukes were a five piece group led by singer and saxophonist Wilmer Alexandra Jr. Released in the Spring of 1968 their debut record Give Me One More Chance was a very minor hit reaching #78 Cashbox, and # 80 Billboard, in the summer. Released as by Wilmer And The Dukes  (see below) in the UK, it launched the Action label a colorful and exclusively Soul imprint.
