Artist: Gangsters of LoveThis is one of the best '70s rock albums in my collection. In fact, a couple mixing buddies and I have been known to adopt identities of some of the group when making and posting musical mixes detailing the fantastic and elaborate adventures of the Gangsters of Love—as you can see here, here and here. If any of the real Gangsters of Love are reading this, I would love to know more about your band, the recording of this LP and to hear what y'all are up to nowadays. You can get your own sealed copy of this incredible 1973 self-titled Gangsters of Love LP here, and this list of who's who is from the back of the LP:
Louis Hollingsworth — Keyboards, Lead Vocals
Dennis Dillon — Lead Guitar
Lawrence Harrison, Jr. — Trumpet, Flute, Background Vocals
Ralph Torres — Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, Flute, Background Vocals
Roland Padilla — Drums
John Brown — Congas

It´s one of my best records too and I love to see somebody feelin´the same for this fantastic band. Thanks again dear. kisses from Spain..............Ana.
ReplyDeleteMy dad was in that band. They broke up because of a tour that did not happen. I think it was a "Allman Brothers Band tour."
ReplyDeleteHey Vinnie, that's so cool! I assume your dad is Ralph? Which one is he in the lineup photo? People sure missed out not getting to see Gangsters of Love on the tour. That would've been awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy Father is Steve Sanchez on Gangsters of Love album. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer any questions.
ReplyDeleteHey there, son of Steve! :) Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I'd love to know what happened to Gangsters of Love as a group after this album was released. Was there ever a tour? Are there any other recordings? And which one is your dad in the lineup photo on the back of the record? Thanks! —Alex
ReplyDeleteMy Father is Steve Sanchez In the back of the record.
ReplyDeleteHey Steve, Jr., thanks for writing. Which of the guys in the lineup photo is your dad? I wish they'd put names under that picture. If your dad's still around, let him know there's a guy in Seattle who thinks his band is awesome!
