***Based in St. Matthews, South Carolina, MIXED FEELINGS’ band leader and keyboard player GLENN WALLING never expected that “Sha-La-La” would become an international sensation three decades after its original release. Drafting it on the fly in under 20 minutes in 1976, he intended it for the flip side of the group’s self-proclaimed masterpiece, a country-inflected soul ballad entitled “Love Will Find A Way,” but the Nashville-based distributor inadvertently switched up the sides on the promotional copies and “Sha-La-La” found its way to the top. Soul-Cal Records, in coordination with Keb Darge and Kenny Dope at Kay-Dee Records, is pleased to breathe fresh air into the music of the Mixed Feelings, bringing it to the masses as a single sided 12-inch release. Yeah, it’s good enough to be released it without a B-side. With original copies of the record exchanging hands for $4,000 or more, it’s a steal.
