AccuRadio Song Of The Day-The Intrigues

Artist:The Intrigues

Song:In a Moment

Albim:Philly Favorites

Here's a soul classic that probably would have done better if it had been on a larger label with a decent promotion budget. As it stands, the 1969 single In a Moment almost made the top thirty in pop and an R&B top ten. A couple of other Intrigues songs charted so they are not technically a one hit wonder. They only released one album. The Intrigues were from Philadelphia led by Alfred Brown. He was lead singer and he wrote most of the songs including In a Moment. In the 50s, he was in the doo wop group Ronnie Jones and his Classmates. The other members of The Intrigues were James Harris, James Lee and Ronald  Hamilton. They signed with the small New York based label Yew Records. The 1969 single In a Moment was produced by Philly Soul veterans Bobby Martin and Thom Bell and written and sung by Brown. It reached #31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the R&B Singles chart. They produced an album and subsequent singles but they had no success. The album was rereleased with bonus tracks by Collectables. In a Moment is on this Collectables various artists comp. Yew Records closed in 1972. They released a total of 14 singles. The Intrigues was their only chart success. As I said, The Intrigues could have been bigger on a larger label. Brown still leads a version of The Intrigues on the oldies circuit.
