Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1966 on the Karen Records label, I Got To Handle It / Zig-Zagging represents a mid-decade moment for The Capitols, a vocal group hailing from Detroit. The group is best known for their infectious, horn-driven sound that epitomized the transition from traditional rhythm and blues to the punchier, dance-oriented soul music emerging from the regional Michigan scene during this era.

The production of this single was helmed by Ollie McLaughlin, a pivotal figure in the Detroit music industry who played a significant role in developing the sounds of artists like Barbara Lewis and The Capitols. The track reflects the specific aesthetic of Karen Records, which prioritized driving rhythms and tight, energetic arrangements meant for the burgeoning soul dance halls of the time.
