Rice & Beans Orchestra - Cross Over (1977)



One of the earliest disco collectives of studio-based musicians is the latin tinged Rice And Beans Orchestra. Pepe Luis Soto is the name most connected to their releases. Puerto Rican born Soto had already been in the business for nearly a decade.
1977's Cross Over added Vivian Cherry and Ullanda McCullough to the vocalist line up and was just as the title proclaimed, an aim at crossover success. Only one 12" single was released off of it, "You've Got Magic" (TK-56). The song albeit good, was released amid a flurry of activity both within T.K. and Soto's camp. So it lingered about and effectively was the end of the Rice And Beans Orchestra. Cross Over was recorded in Puerto Rico.
