UPC All-Stars featuring Leslie Smith of L.A. Carnival

The UPC All-Stars, led by the talented, but until today unknown, keyboardist John Roode, boasts five members of the recently unearthed funk-soul powerhouse group L.A. Carnival. Singers Leslie Smith and Arno Lucas, guitarist Ron Cooley, horn section leader Gino Devaughn and bass player Rick Chudacoff carried forth the sweet harmonizing and thundering pulse of their L.A. Carnival experience into the mid '70s with the offshoot project entitled the UPC All-Stars. Standing for ''Universal Promotions Company,'' the UPC label never released this pulsating, soulful, horn-laden anthem. Fortunately Soul-Cal did.
