The Jimmy Castor Bunch
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, July 1972
"YOU KNOW, we recorded the album for Columbia but they just did not want it. They were too busy with Sly and Chicago; Santana and Blood, Sweat & Tears, to see anything in the It's Just Begun album." So spake Jimmy Castor whose judgement of the album is backed up by its lofty position in today's R&B album chart in the States.
