We're All In This Together / Milky Way

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the R&B outfit. Chocolate Milk was formed in 1974 in Memphis, Tennessee by saxophonist Amadee Castenell, Jr shortly after the emergence of the bands Kool & the Gang and Earth, Wind & Fire. The eight-piece band relocated to New Orleans to become the studio band for songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint, following the tenure of The Meters as Toussaint's band. Chocolate Milk backed Toussaint as a live band and on his album New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (1976), and also recorded with Paul McCartney. The band then signed with RCA Records. This package compiles two albums on one CD. We're All In This Together was originally released in 1977 and Milky Way was released in 1979.
