The Montclairs - Dreaming Out Of Season (1972)
By Papa Funk
**VERY,VERY RARE GEM**
**A Super Soul Album**
Vocal group from East St. Louis, Illinois, USA, named after a brand of cigarettes, comprised lead Phil Perry (b. 1 January 1952, Springfield, Illinois, USA), David Frye, George McLellan, Kevin Sanlin and Clifford “Scotty” Williams. The Montclairs were representative of the vocal group renaissance of the early 70s when falsetto lead and sweet-sound vocals were fashionable. The group recorded their first single in ‘Her You Don’t Fight It’ 1969 on Arch which was only distributed in the St. Louis area, and the following year began recording for bandleader/producer Oliver Sain at his Archway Studio. Sain arranged for the group to be signed with Paula Records, based in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Their outstanding hits for the label were “Dreamin’ Out Of Season” (number 34 R&B) from 1972, and “Make Up For Lost Time” (number 46 R&B) from 1974. Their last chart record was “Baby You Know (I’m Gonna Miss You)” from 1974. Their only album, ‘Dreamin’ Out Of Season’, was released in 1972, with the track ‘Prelude To A Heartbreak’ (number 70 R & B) b/w ‘I Need You More Than Ever’ released as a single the following year. They also recorded other sides for the Vanessa, Premium and United International imprints. In 1974, Clifford Williams was drafted into the U.S. military and the group continued as a quartet.
After the Montclairs left Paula in 1975 they disbanded.Perry later worked as a session vocalist and established himself as a popular smooth jazz artist. In 1979, Phil Perry moved to Los Angeles, hooking up with producer Chuck Jackson who signed the singer to Capitol, along with Kevin Sanlin of The Montclairs, to form the duo Perry & Sanlin. Their first single reached number 81. They continued as songwriters and freelance producers. Perry issued his own debut LP, ‘The Heart Of The Man’, for Capitol in 1991 and has continued to release solo album into the new millenium.
