"The Kelly Brothers, who recorded soul records in Nashville for the Sims and Excello labels, sounded different from most soul groups of the 1960s. Unlike the well-known Motown groups of the era that evoked a little of the flavor of gospel, notably the silky smooth Temptations, the jazzy Four Tops, and the sweet-sounding Miracles, the Kelly Brothers captured the full rich soul-testifying sound of the fundamentalist Black Church."
