  • Groovin' with the Soulful Strings is the second album by the American soul-jazz instrumental group the Soulful Strings. It was released in October 1967 on the Cadet record label, a subsidiary of Chess Records. The album includes the hit single "Burning Spear", written by the group's leader, musical arranger Richard Evans, and interpretations of popular songs by the Beatles, the Temptations, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and others. Groovin' was the most commercially successful of the Soulful Strings' releases. In the United States, it peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Top LP's chart, and number 6 and number 2, respectively, on Billboard's best-selling R&B and Jazz LP listings. Although the album was nominally produced by Cadet Records senior executive Esmond Edwards, its success led to Evans' promotion to head up the creative direction of the label. In addition to the string orchestration, the recording features contributions from jazz musicians such as Phil Upchurch, Charles Stepney, Lenny Druss, Cleveland Eaton and Morris Jennings. (en)
