FROM 1966 - A REITER RECORD RELIC - "VOICE YOUR CHOICE" by THE RADIANTS

Released in 1964, this 45 was an EAST END VANCOUVER house party favourite. The record wasn't played on any of the city's radio stations at the time of its release. It did get airplay when CKLG-FM's "Groovin' Blue" went on the air (Oct. 1967).

THE RADIANTS were originally a five man group formed in 1960 out of The Greater Harvest Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois but only recorded as a trio.

This video sees them on The!!!! Beat T.V. show out of Nashville, Tennessee with discjockey Bill "Hoss" Allen. Featured: Leonard Caston Jr. [tnr], Wallace Sampson [bar] and the wonderful Maurice McAlister on lead.
