7th Wonder were a soul-funk group from Alabama with a style similar to Earth Wind & Fire and Kool & the Gang, a self-contained vocal and instrumental unit whose versatility yielded splendid funky dance tracks and melodic balladry of the Southern Soul genre. Having made their chart debut on Abet Records from Nashville in 1973 with their version of Kris Kristofferson's ballad For The Good Times, the group signed with Parachute in 1978 to score R&B hit singles with Words Don t Say Enough and My Love Ain't Never Been This Strong both featuring on the Words album, recorded mainly at the renowned Muscle Shoals Studio with their house musicians, then moved to the dedicated soul sister-label Chocolate City in 1980, where I Enjoy Ya and The Tilt both also reached the R&B top 50 and featured in their second album, Thunder, recorded at the Malaco Studio in Jackson, Mississippi. The group took their name from the list of seven wonders of the ancient world, using the Pyramid at Giza as their recurring brand image, along with costumes in the tradition of ancient Egypt. Shout Records are pleased to present for the first time on CD this top quality soul and funk music, much-sought after in collectors circles,

and featuring the production skills of Jerry Weaver. In-demand late 1970's US funk and Southern Soul material First CD reissue for all recordings Recorded at Muscle Shoals and Malaco studios.
