SoulTracks Lost Gem: Mint Condition honored the “Unsung”

mint_condition

For a quarter century, Mint Condition was known by many as the “Greatest R&B Band in the World.”  Formed in the late 80s in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the group, consisting of lead singer/percussionist Stokley Williams, bassist Ricky Kinchen, guitarist Homer O’Dell, pianist Larry Waddell, and keyboardist/saxophonist Jeffrey Allen, kept it going strong for years in an era where most R&B bands disappeared.

In 2011, MC scored with their album 7, but while the album had its share of hits, including “Not My Daddy” with Kelly Price, it also had a beautiful ballad that never made it to radio. Check out the great song “Unsung” below and tell us what you think!
