Founding members of the group were Zulema Cusseaux, Brenda Hilliard and Al Bailey. Originally a trio called the Lovelles, when they met record producer, Van McCoy, and were signed to a recording contract by Maxwell Records, the group's name was changed to Faith, Hope and Charity. Their song "So Much Love" hit #14 on the BillboardR&B chart and #51 on the Hot 100 in 1970.[1] The subsequent release "Baby Don't Take Your Love" reached #36 R&B and #96 in the Hot 100
Birth Day is the fourth album by the now-solidified Louisville, Kentucky group New Birth. It released in 1972 on RCA Records, and it was produced by mentor Harvey Fuqua
and his uncredited assistant Vernon Bullock, and was the album that put
the group on the map. Consisting of the instrumental group The Nite-Liters, vocalists Love, Peace & Happiness
(Ann Bogan, Leslie and Melvin Wilson), Londee Loren (Wiggins), Bobby
Downs and Allen Frey, this would be the last album in which Ann would
appear, as she succumbed to the pressure put on her by her mother to
stop singing and raise her two children herself.
