Michael Boykin
Versatile Music Group (2011)
“Stand Up” is a foot-tapping mid-tempo number from Michael Boykin of the Mighty Voices of Clinton, North Carolina. Boykin calls out the first line and receives the response of a high-harmony male group, possibly the Mighty Voices, though the vocal group is un-credited.
The traditional-style single grooves along with a trainload of blue notes, a strong backbeat and a biting vamp, all of which thrill quartet enthusiasts, especially in the south and southeast.
Boykin dedicates this single to quartet great, the late Rev. Howard “Slim” Hunt of the Supreme Angels.
