Originally recorded in 1976 but left unreleased for nearly 45 years, Doing Our Thing With Pride is a remarkable piece of soul and funk history from the Al-Dos Band, a group founded by Mary and William Robinson out of Greenville, South Carolina. Now brought to light by London's Kalita Records — working directly with the band's founders and sourced from the original analogue master tapes — this album finally gives the world a proper introduction to the Al-Dos Band's singular sound.
Built around one of the most celebrated gospel soul singles of its era, the title track anchors an album that delivers consistently across its entire runtime, with standout cuts like "Some Things Don't Mean A Thing" proving the band had depth well beyond a single release. Thanks to Kalita's dedication to preserving its authenticity through the original master tapes and close collaboration with the Robinson family, Doing Our Thing With Thing With Pride is a deeply faithful presentation of music that deserves to be heard.
