The Modulations - Those Were The Best Days Of My Life (1975)
What do you think of this group? Actually I like the lyrics and musicality of the rendition. Very "danceable" as well. They should have been much more popular. Wonder what happened. Kudos to this ensemble anyway. They still may be around the city somewhere.

This group of the most-likely '60s or '70s hails from Durham, NC. They sound typical to the sound of the times -- like a group playing and singing for the rambunctious Soul Train line. Can't you just see it now as well as then? They were one of many N.C. artists being hailed at the "Hallelujah Swing School" that was featured by the fantastic Hillside High School students under the direction of Mr. Wendell Tabb this weekend. Andre Tally, world-wide famed fashion icon and Vogue editor who was also a Hillside graduate was in town for the festivities.
Highlights of N.C. talent were also strewn throughout the production, like John Coltraine, Nina Simone, John P. Kee, and many others to name a few. But I had to search my memory hard to recall the Modulations. But you'll agree they were well representative of the times after you give a listen.
