I appreciate you dancing over to my place this Monday morning, kittens & dawgs. The weekend is over, but who says the fun has to end? Not me! Any time is a good time to celebrate, like celebrating my last BoTB showdown. Who won? Will the polls indicated that Junior Walker and the Allstars were definitely an all-star hit for round two of Battle of the Bands.

Congratulations to the winner and many thanks to y’all for casting your votes. Now it’s time to hit the dance floor. Today, I’m featuring the R&B sound of Junior Walker and the Allstars (JWTA)!
One of JWTA’s most successful recordings hit on both R&B and pop charts in 1969 with What Does It Take To Win Your Love written by Johnny Bristol, Harvey Fuqua, and Vernon Bullock landed in the top five of the Hot 100 list.
Covering The Guess Who’s #6 peak hit (May 1969) JWTA’s version reached #3 on the R&B Singles chart and #16 on Billboard POP Singles chart later that year in October with These Eyes.
One of Marvin Gaye’s best-selling classic hits How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) is another cover song of JWTA.
Junior Walker and the Allstars are a true classic R&B band from the 60s that seemed new-to-me at the time of my recent discovery. However, the first song in my line up this morning was like a flashback. I do remember JWTA. Do you want some more R&B sounds? If so, listen to Junior Walker and the Allstars The Ultimate Collection in the background while you merrily surf the web.
