Baritone Willie “Sherman” Flannagan and alto Alvin “Lumberjack” Middleton supported tenors Sanders and Hawkins, with second tenor Sidney Smith replacing Sanders in 1971. The Summits founders Andre Sanders and Juan Hawkins spent a lot of time on the 16th Street bus, a route that begins at the D.C.’s centre and runs due north for a few miles. Discussions of starting a band began during this long commute, which was most often taken to visit a pair of uptown girlfriends. The bus displayed the name of the last northbound stop, in this case, Summit Hill. A casual nod to their municipal transport, the Summits seemed a fitting title for the group. The group soon fell under the tutelage of Joe Tate, who maintained a stable of musicians, among them national recording artists the Fuzz, the Choice Four, and the Blendells. The Summits’ “I Can’t Get Over Losing You” would appear on Tate’s Dontee label in 1970, but limited distribution and radio play didn’t give the group much fame or fortune. The Summits would not get a second recording until Tate’s other recordings and business deals were completed, and it wasn’t until Tate paired the Summits with staff songwriter Joe Phillips that things began to take shape. Phillips would write half a dozen songs for the Summits, four of which were released as singles on Stan Bethel’s D.C. International label. While the records generated a respectable local buzz, it never translated into the wealth their fellow chart-toppers achieved. They never left their day jobs and, with girlfriends and soon growing young families, their tried-and-true tour routes became something they made the decision not to continue. While Joe Tate’s model worked out for a few lucky groups, the Summits Decided that the musical journey had sadly come to an end. – Soul Direction Click images to enlarge Shipping SHIPPING COSTS 7" VINYL UK ONLY: FREE 2nd class or £1.50 1st Class, £3.00 1st Class Recorded, £6.00 Special Delivery (excluding Saturday) EUROPE : £6.50 AIRMAIL add only £1.00 per item postage on each additional 7" Vinyl Record UNITED STATES, CANADA, JAPAN £8.00 AIRMAIL add only £1.00 per item postage on each additional 7" Vinyl Record AUSTRALIA : £8.00 AIRMAIL add only £1.00 per item postage on each additional 7" Vinyl Record REGISTERED MAIL EUROPE: £12.00 add only £1.00 per item postage on each additional 7" Vinyl Record UNITED STATES, CANADA, JAPAN, ASIA, RUSSIA, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AMERICAS, REST OF THE WORLD : £13.00 add only £1.00 per item postage on each additional 7" Vinyl Record Please use 'add to basket' option on ebay.co.uk when buying more than one item so postage discounts are applied or an invoice can be requested.
