ROJ 127EP
|
"Founded in 1963, Rojac Records was Jack Taylor's attempt to capture the musical pulse of Harlem. Throughout the '60s (and into the '80s) the imprint released a steady stream of releases. Whether they were hits or near hits they're all exceptional in quality. This time around it's Snoopy Dean's South Florida R&B
Staple, the Third Guitar with 'Been So Long' and 'Down To The River.'"

RO 160EP
|
Their classic Rojac Soul recordings, circa 1968, including: "Baby Don't Cry" (featured on Jazzman's Florida Funk and The World's Rarest Funk 45s Volume Two compilations), plus a bonus Kenny Dope edit. "Snoopy Dean calls his band Third Guitar. As far as we're concerned, he's first-call all the way on his chosen instrument--and a mighty fine singer too. It's high time the rest of you folks all over the U.S. know about him the way we do in his hometown, so I'm here to give you the lowdown. My man Snoopy's been paying his dues on the Miami R&B scene for years, tearing up the clubs and building a much-deserved reputation as one of the Sunshine State's top axemen. Ever since he put together Third Guitar and started recording for Jack Taylor's Rojac Records (Jack clearly knows talent--he happens to operate one of New York's top soul labels, with great artists like the legendary Big Maybelle and another of our homegrown talents, Clarence Reid, adorning his vast talent roster), Snoopy's been turning heads all across the country with his hot licks and cool set of pipes. With the release of this knockout album, Mr. Dean will surely be more in demand than ever." --From the jacket notes by Slammin' Sammy, WMBM-AM, Miami
