The Esquires - Get On Up And Get Away
Bunky Records Inc. 1967 BS 300
credits:
The Esquires first formed in 1957 around the Moorer family, whose Gilbert
(died: 28 August 2008),[1] Alvis, and Betty all became members. They went
through many lineup changes over their first decade, which saw them
aiming mostly for local recognition. In 1966 they moved to Chicago and
auditioned for Curtis Mayfield, who was not interested in signing them.
They then attempted to sign with Constellation Records, but the record
label went under at the end of 1966; they signed instead with Bunky Records,
Constellation's successor. Bunky was distributed
by Scepter Records on the national level.
