COMMENTS :

Columbus, Ohio natives' Ben "Pete" Caldwell, James Brown, Donald Russell, and Jimmy Harmon were the Four Mints, a band who recorded for Bill Moss' Capsoul Records. The group's first single "You're My Desire" got limited play in some minor markets. Caldwell, the lead singer, wrote both sides of the mid- tempo wailer (later included on a handful of compilation albums, including Dynamite Soul Harmony, and a Northern Soul favorite).

The second release was their finest moment, the floater "Row My Boat," led by Caldwell and written by Dean Francis. It was a favorite of young groups and bedroom-mirror singers, and always brought ovations when performed by locals at talent shows. "Row My Boat," hit the R&B charts, and was their biggest record. The success of "Row My Boat" prompted their only LP, Gently Down Your Stream, in 1973.The success of "Row My Boat" took the Four Mints gigging to the Washington/DC area, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan. A third and final release, "Can't Get Strung Out" (released in 1973), never got started; disenchanted, the fellows disbanded. Caldwell has passed, but the rest still resides in the greater Columbus area. All of the above songs are inlcuded here on this 10 track original LP.
