Soul Toronados - The Complete Recordings (2004)

1960s-1970s soul band from Akron, Ohio.

Members:
Bobby Heller
Charles Heller
James 'Boots' Smith

Consisted of Charles who played drums and Bobby on Hammond/Organ. They recruited James Crawford as a guitarist but left soon because he couldn't keep up the hard practicing the Heller twins did. They found James 'Boots' Smith and got him into the band.

After some years, Ernest Burt discovered the bands talent and hired them to release Soul Toronados - Go For Yourself / Funky Thang in 1969 on Burt. They recorded Soul Toronados - Hot Pants Break Down / Boot's Grove a little later. This was released on Magic City recordings, also owned by Burt. In the Mid -70's, they recorded their third release, Soul Toronados - Crazy Legs. But this recording escaped the Magic City vaults for some reason and ended up in the hands of Ernie Malick of the Westwood Record Co. label under dubious circumstances.
