The
SWALLOWS


This week, Matt The Cat spotlights one of the greatest R&B; vocal groups of all time, The Swallows. Today, they’re mostly remembered for their risqué classic “It Ain’t The Meat” (which wasn’t a hit at the time), but their real strength was in ballads. Their smooth, harmonies are almost peerless. Catch all of their amazing R&B; hits as well as the story behind the story on The Swallows, this week on Harlem.
