🎤 Who would've bought a ticket to a ‘71 Brunswick Summer Tour?

The Chi‑Lites released "Have You Seen Her" in October 1971, which soared to #1 on Billboard R&B charts and #3 on the Hot 100 – one of Brunswick’s signature hits

Earlier in 1971, the label saw multiple top-10 R&B singles:

"Could I Forget You" by Tyrone Davis reached #10 on R&B charts.

"(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" by The Chi‑Lites hit #4.

Other hits included Jackie Wilson, The Lost Generation, and The Artistics scoring with titles like “You Keep Me Holding On” and “Talking the Teenage Language”

Brunswick’s R&B chart dominance peaked in 1971, with significant releases across multiple top-tier artists — making that year particularly fruitful.

It’s a big day in soul history! 🎉

Wishing a joyful 87th birthday to the legendary Gene “The Duke of Earl” Chandler. 🎁

His bittersweet classic “The Girl Don’t Care” still cuts deep - a timeless reminder of heartbreak wrapped in velvet vocals. And Gene? Still smooth, still soulful, still showing the kids how it’s done.

A classic song makes a great cover, and we LOVE a great cover 🫶🏿

Maybe it's because Brunswick songs are so timeless 🤷🏾‍♀️

Please groove to Swing Out Sister's cover of Barbara Acklin's "Am I The Same Girl?"
