the young senators are an exemplary progenitor of dc’s hyper-local, hyper-celebrated go-go scene. peers of chuck brown’s black heat and soul searchers, the septet was led by energetic singer and conga player jimi dougans, and featured saxophonist leroyflemming, guitarist calvin charisty, keyboardist frank hooker, drummer james johnson, bassist wornell jones, and trumpeter phillip guilbeau. the band issued two singles on the the tiny innovation label, before joining up with motown’s eddie kendricks in 1972 for his sophomore effort people…hold on. the young senators’ fuzzed-out brand of psychedelic soul is often bootlegged, but finds it first legitimate release in 45 years via these remastered sides.
