1957

THINK * THE "5" ROYALS * KING 5053 * USA

Written by guitarist Lowman "Pete" Pauling, Think was the groups fourteenth waxing for King. A well crafted recording with a positive yet critical, philosophically oriented message and a superb laid back Jive beat. Never released in the UK (they had only one British issue!) this record and 99% of the groups creative output remained unknown to music fans in the UK, a great loss to the UK as not only did they such make such brilliant music, their music was so influential not only on the then current R&B  / DooWop scene but also on the formation of the next generations Soul music.
