The Poets
Band, US
R&B/Soul
One of two USA groups with the same name working in different parts of New York City (the other Poets recorded for Red Bird and eventually formed the basis for 70s hitmakers the Main Ingredient), The Poets recorded three 45s for Juggy Murray’s Symbol records in the mid-60s. Led by Ronnie Lewis (who gets co-writing credit with Murray), the Poets also featured Melvin Bradford, Paul Fulton and Johnny James. ‘She Blew a Good Thing’ made it all the way to #2 on the R&B charts (scraping the outer limits of the Pop Top 40) in the spring of 1966.
