Lamp Records (It Glowed Like The Sun: The Story Of Naptown's Motown 1969-1972)
Indianapolis had its own Motown story, often overshadowed by Detroit's legendary status. This Now-Again Records compilation rescues and celebrates Indiana soul, funk, and gospel from 1969-1972, a period of deep creativity and social consciousness. Acts like the Truth Revue and the Montiques deliver urgent, soulful recordings pulsing with gospel roots and street-level authenticity. Production quality varies—some tracks rough, others polished—but every song carries genuine emotional weight. This music was made for dancing and feeling, rooted in community and faith. For serious soul collectors seeking to understand American funk and soul beyond canonical names, this double-disc set is invaluable archival work.
