the Mello(w) Decisions


Toledo, 1969-73?

pic

Recorded one 45 credited to the Mello Decisions on the Reel label from Detroit.  They were a self contained band that played funk and soul. According to a 1972 mention in a Detroit newspaper, they had six members at the time, and were opening for the Four Tops and assisting as their backing band. The 45 seems to reinforce the name as Mello but the pic and newspaper say Mellow.

The 45 is a good funky instrumental, credited to Agustus Walker. This seems to be a mispelling of Augustus Walker. It's possible that he is the same Augustus Walker credited with as leading the Scott High School Jazz Ensemble on two LPs dated 1972 and 1974.
