Named for a voice that was sweet like Domino sugar, Renaldo Domino is one of the unsung heroes of Chicago Soul. Born Renaldo Jones in “The Valley,” around 49th & Forestville, Domino was already on the star track by the time he got his driver's license. He linked up with the Magnificents, and manager William “Sandy” Johnson, who would stay with him throughout his career, and had his first record deal before his high school graduation.
He brought in the South Shore Commission and members of the Cheers and the Voices for the sessions that would become the double-sided masterpiece <a href="spotify:album:1SfbHBEn6nUygc7KFcjVIX" data-name="Not Too Cool To Cry b/w Nevermore">Not Too Cool To Cry b/w Nevermore</a>. Domino’s vocals certainly live up to the promise of his stage name, but it’s Pegue’s left-of-center production, complete with pizzicato violin, triangle, castanets and mini choir that make these songs arguably one of the most most beautiful soul singles to come out of Chicago.
