The Twinight label was a small, Chicago-based soul indie of the late '60s and early '70s that experienced most of its success with singles by Syl Johnson (before Johnson moved to Hi Records). This has 24 tracks issued by the label between 1967 and 1972, although only two of them are by Johnson (who produced a few of the tracks by other acts). Johnson is also the only name you're apt to recognize, unless you've got a knee-high stack of Soul Survivor back issues. The Notations, the Radiants, Elvin Spencer, Jimmy Jones, Renaldo Domino, and a host of other unknowns offer brassy, upbeat soul in the Chicago style, usually dancefloor-ready. There are a few surprises that keep one's attention -- the country harmonica on Johnny Williams' "Maggie," the enchanted-island phrasing of Renaldo Domino on "Nevermore," the Hawaiian guitar on George McGregor's "Temptation Is Hard to Fight" -- though on the whole the material is pleasantly average. allmusic
