Led by the distinctive falsetto voice of Nolan Strong, the band is best known for their 1954 hit, \"The Wind.\" They played a significant role in shaping the Detroit music scene and their style has been cited as a key influence on later soul and Motown artists. Despite their relatively short recording career, Nolan Strong and the Diablos have an enduring legacy in the world of R\u0026amp;B music.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mind-over-matter-im-gonna-make-you-mine-beside-you-1","title":"Mind Over Matter (I'm Gonna Make You Mine)\/ Beside You","description":"This is actually one of those amazing recordings that shows a group halfway between doo-wop and soul.  Essential music!  As Dave Marsh notes in his writeup on the song, the song is important because it provides a clear prophecy of \"Keith Richards' guitar style, circa \u003ci\u003eDecember's Children\u003c\/i\u003e.\"  Once you listen to the snippet a few times, you gotta admit it's kind of spooky!  Note that the label only credits Nolan Strong.  This is a gorgeous copy... the scan can't do the shiny silver type justice! Note: This 45 has Mint labels, and the vinyl looks untouched. The audio grades very close to Mint.","brand":"Nolan Strong and the Diablos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48513776910569,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/nolanstrong1.gif?v=1752173614"},{"product_id":"the-wind-baby-be-mine-2","title":"The Wind\/ Baby Be Mine","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere's a beautiful copy of the 1954 pressing of this great Doo Wop track, which occupies spot #67 on Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest singles. This tune was re-released again in 1960, when it \"bubbled under\" the Hot 100 chart. Collector Nerd Alert: I believe this is the \"dark purple, thick wax\" pressing, the most valuable of several variants. Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and untouched-looking vinyl.
