Revelation
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, April 1975
"POSITIVE THINKING and a high energy level" are, according to Benny Diggs, what make Revelation what they are. If you ever feel that you want some kind of uplift, something to take you out of the humdrum feelings of day-to-day living, then take a listen to this four-man group of outstanding singers. They'll take you to church without you moving from your living room and they'll communicate with that rare kind of feeling reserved strictly for a few. Revelation are on the verge of happening and if you're gonna award marks for soulfulness, you'd better notch up ten plus for this team!
