Description
Husband and wife Randy and Debbie Alexander assembled various musicians in and around the Windy City, Chicago. He’s the group’s leader, drummer and spokesman, she is lead vocalist. Other members are Marc Reuax on bass, Walter Thigpen on keyboard, C.J. Blook on synthesizers, Marlon Mathis and Reggie Morris on guitar. Merge was "adopted" by Chicago promotion man Gus Redmond, who helped them to get some studio time with producer Bruce Hawes, writer of the Spinners "Mighty Love," among other hits. After cutting some sides for a label which folded before they could be released, the band approached well known producer Carl Davis, who signed them to his own ChiSound Company. All the tracks on the disk were composed by the members of the group, with one exception the track "Worry". "Instead of writing songs on paper, we get together and play, create a groove and then build the rest of the songs around it", explains Randy Alexander. Merge has long been on PTG Records’ most wanted re-issue list and now finally they are able to release this still highly in demand album.
