A deal with Atlantic
subsidiary Atco, in 1967, led to some new material for
Darrell.
Mirasound Studio on 47th
Street provided the backdrop for vocals while Detroit
continued to provide the rhythm tracks.
The new material
included a cover of Gene Chandler's "Here come the
tears"; Cosby/Moy's Jobete dancer "Angel
Baby"; Derek Martin's classic ballad "You better
go"; and a mix of three McCoy/Redd songs co-written
with Cleveland Horn, and others.
An album
emerged called
"Darrell Banks is here". Also making it onto the
album were the two Revilot 45's. Atco
also issued two 45's; "Here come the tears"/"I've
got that feelin'" and "Angel baby"/"Look
into the eyes of a fool", but they failed to chart. Another
branch of Atlantic Records, Cotillion, also issued a 45 in
July 1968. "I wanna go home"/"The love of my
woman", although competent, suffered a similar fate to
the Atco material.
