The Eight Minutes, an eight-member vocal soul ensemble, emerged in the early 1970s, blending the talents of the Goggins and Sudduth families with Juwanna Glover and Carl Monroe. Discovered by soul legend Doris Jones, they released their album "An American Family" in 1972 under Perception Records. Their music, reminiscent of The Jacksons and The Undisputed Truth, features powerful tracks like "Time For A Change," addressing themes of war, poverty, and environmental concerns. This album stands as a testament to their contribution to vocal soul and Black music. ([bbemusic.bandcamp.com](https://bbemusic.bandcamp.com/album/an-american-family?utm_source=openai))
