An East St. Louis soul vocal group, the Montclairs recorded some fine heartache ballads in the early '70s that deserved better fates than they got. Kevin Sanlin, <a href="spotify:artist:3wg6B0I3YwsARsBONWWAXL">Phil Perry</a>, George McLellan, David Frye, and Clifford Williams debuted for Arch in 1969. They moved to Paula in the '70s. None of their singles ever cracked the R&B Top 30 ("Beggin' Is Hard to Do" and "Dreaming out of Season" came close), but such songs as "Prelude to a Heartbreak" and "Make Up for Lost Time" are still fondly remembered. Sanlin and <a href="spotify:artist:3wg6B0I3YwsARsBONWWAXL">Perry</a> later recorded as a duo. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
