An often stirring 20-member ensemble whose music was better suited for devotional and inspirational material than commercial R&B or soul, the Voices of East Harlem included lead vocalists Gerri Griffin and Monica Burress. Producers Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield worked with the group, whose ages ranged from 12 to 21, and cut some material on the Just Sunshine label that didn't generate any chart action. But their 1973 LP, The Voices of East Harlem, was a superbly performed release nonetheless, and the single "Cashing In" was a cult favorite. The single "Wanted Dead or Alive" was later reissued as a 12" remixed cut and got some international dance attention.
"Right On Be Free" is the lone album by "The Voices Of East Harlem" released in late 1970 on Elektra Records. It's a sort of gospel/funk/righteous soul miss-mash. If you appreciate raw, unreserved, funky, heartlifting passionate soul and gospel, this will certainly appeal to you. Fantastic examples of the call and response-style in gospel, powerful anthems for justice, peace and equality.

Thanks for the link!
Any chance of a re-up or new link as this has gone the same ways as other mediafire links?
Yes, any chance of a zippy re-up? The Voices of EH were amazing and their segment in the film "Soul To Soul" one of the most electrifying performances ever! Thank you!
