Notas
All Copyrights by TURNER BROS.

"THE TURNER BROS. It all started back in the late 50's with Melvin, Calvin and Allison singing with their father James in Columbia, South Carolina. After moving to the Indianapolis area in 1963, Allison and Calvin decided to pursue a career in R&B. Their early success came in the late 60's while singing on the ATLANTIC and CHESS labels. Then the group started to grow. Four younger brothers Rudy, Charles, Harrison and Paul joined the band to make it more of a family affair. Rounding out the group now, in addition to these talented brothers are James Dixon, Michael Boards, Rudy Ross, Charles Cotton and Ted Patterson.

Ranging in age from 12 to 27, you would hardly think there is 16 years of ladder climbing behind this group. They have appeared all over America with such stars as the CHI-LITES, OHIO PLAYERS, STAPLE SINGERS, RUFUS THOMAS, OTIS REDDING and DAVID RUFFIN. After hearing them perform, you'll agree, they are nearing the top of that ladder and will reach the hearts and souls of millions across the nation. Like an explosive reaction, they will make a dynamite impression on you!

For listening pleasure beyond measure. Vocally and instrumentally, the TURNER BROS. are a great provider!"

The Turner Bros. were a major force in the Indianapolis soul scene of the late 1960’s into the mid 1970’s. The Turner family was originally from South Carolina, relocating to Indiana in 1963. The family had a gospel group known as the Turner Singers; brothers Allison and Calvin Turner grew up as part of the group, eventually launching a soul band that released several singles on various labels, including Atlantic, Lamp and Lulu, and a highly sought LP, Act 1, in 1974 on their own imprint, MB Records. That LP was reissued by Ubiquity Records in 1999. It is reported that the group toured with the Chi-Lites, Rufus Thomas, Tavares, Ohio Players and others.

Most of the singles were released as Allison and Calvin Turner. The LP featured other family members. Several Turner Brothers songs had writing or arrangement involvement by Jerry Herman, who operated Note Records (with brother Mel Herman) and Lulu Records.

After James Bell left the Highlighters, he joined with the Turners to record “Funky Buzzard”, which appeared on the Stones Throw Records compilation The Funky 16 Corners, released in 2001, which was primarily but not exclusively Indiana soul. That LP release provided global focus to the Indianapolis soul scene which had largely been forgotten in Indianapolis and mostly unknown elsewhere.

There is another Turner Brothers soul group that released a 45 on Carnival Records; this may be why Allison and Calvin’s band was usually spelled as Turner Bros., to avoid confusion.
