Description

More stock expected soon.

Bay Area soul legend Darondo could have been the next Al Green or Sly Stone, but he only released three singles in 1970 and then disappeared. “Didn’t I” was recently picked by Gilles Peterson for his “Digs America” compilation. This LP includes the singles plus three unreleased tracks.

A mystery to most, Darondo records are high on the wants-lists of many collectors. He is spoken about in hushed-tones by other Bay Area musicians. Back in the day he was seen cruising around town in a white Rolls Royce (with a “Darondo” license plate). He opened-up for James Brown and lived a colorful lifestyle hanging with folks like the notorious Fillmore Slim. Take a listen to these tracks, released for the first time together on an album, and you may agree that he could have been the next Al Green or Sly Stone. But about 25 years ago Darondo disappeared.
