About the Group & Label:
* The Group: Formed in Chicago in the late 1960s, The Visitors were a local vocal group discovered and mentored by Eugene Record, lead singer and mastermind producer behind The Chi-Lites. Their signature sound combined lush, floating falsetto lead vocals with tight group harmonies, making \"Until You Came Along\" a prized spin among Northern Soul and Sweet Soul collectors worldwide.
* The Label: Bashie Records was a short-lived, influential sub-label of Dakar Records located at 1449 S. Michigan Avenue along Chicago\'s legendary Record Row. Spearheaded by legendary producer Carl Davis alongside Willie Henderson and Eugene Record, Bashie was used to test and break local Chicago talent before wider distribution.
