Just came across this gem the other day at Milk Crate Breaks. Lush, classic soul from 1970. Here are two choice cuts from the album...
The Lost Generation - Wait a Minute
The Lost Generation - Someday
from allmusic.com...
Heavenly harmonies on vinyl, Chicago's Lost Generation consists of two sets of brothers: Lowrell and Fred Simon, and Jessie and Leslie Dean. They never went platinum or gold but their biggest record Sly, Slick & the Wicked influenced hundreds of groups; a Cleveland, a Californian, and an East Coast group have all named themselves Sly, Slick & Wicked. Ironically, though it was intended as a warning to women, the song appeals more to men. Brunswick wasted the bouncy "You're So Young but You're So True," on the back of "Talking the Teenage Language" (not included). A silky smooth "Wait a Minute," with its hesitating beat, went to #25 in the R&B chart. They do enjoyable renditions of Chairmen of the Boards' "Give Me Just a Little More Time," the Moments' "Love on a Two Way Street," and the Delfonics' "Didn't I Blow Your Mind."
