Limmie & Family Cookin' - A Little Bit Of Soap

A family band that formed in Canton, Ohio in 1972, Limmie & Family Cookin' were a soul/pop group of the pre-disco era, consisting of Limmie Snell who recorded with Columbia Records as a solo artist beginning at age 11 before joining his sisters, Jimmie and Martha, to form Limmie & Family Cookin'. They released one single on Scepter Records, then signed with Avco Embassy, where they released three singles which hit the UK Singles Chart in 1973-74: "You Can Do Magic" (UK No. 3), "Dreamboat" (UK No. 31), and "A Walkin' Miracle" (UK No. 6) - while only cracking the US R&B charts once with "You Can Do Magic" (#42 on the Billboard R&B chart). Because of their popularity in the UK, they continued performing there regularly into the 1980s. Presented here is their rare 1977 single "A Little Bit of Soap," a decidedly danceable cover of The Jarmels 1961 early soul single which became a major hit in the US. This classic single has been newly remastered and includes both stereo and mono versions.
