The Positive Sounds originated in 1962 in Norfolk, Virginia, when five members of a former high school jazz group decided to continue rehearsing together under the name The Sounds. The original lineup included James Carver (alto saxophone), George Miller (trombone), Hugh Williamson (tenor saxophone), Eric Turner (bass guitar), and Amos Hunter (drums). The group shifted their musical focus to Motown and similar styles. In 1967, they expanded to nine members, adding Sidney Buffalow (trumpet), Michael Harris (guitar), Michael Robinson (guitar), and Alex Boyd (lead vocals). In 1972, they served as the house band for the summer at the Apollo Theatre in New York. Their first recordings featured a collaboration with a vocalist on tracks titled “I Almost Blew My Mind” and “You’re The One I Need.” After several attempts to revive the group over the years, the Positive Sounds disbanded following their last performance in March 2007.
