In a very crowded market, their success was remarkable. The Royales were amongst the first Afro American acts to introduce gospel based vocal styles into the rhythm and blues format. This gave an intensity to their recordings and live performances that no other combo could get near, thanks to the passion and power that lead singer Johnny Tanner generated. Furthermore, the group possessed in Lowman Pauling a songwriter of genius and a guitarist, who invented an exciting style of playing that linked stinging solos with rhythmic accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50492617916747,"sku":"378010","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/47947f22-d949-4cc4-a041-310c35d0f4c7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727693380","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/the-harbingers-of-soul","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
