Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1966 on the Karen label, a subsidiary of Lu Pine Records, I Got To Handle It / Zig-Zagging showcases the high-energy soul sound characteristic of the Detroit music scene in the mid-1960s. The Capitols, a vocal trio known for their 1966 hit Cool Jerk, utilized this release to build upon their signature blend of punchy horn arrangements and rhythmic, dance-oriented compositions that were staples of the era's R&B landscape.

The recording reflects the influence of producer Ollie McLaughlin, who played a pivotal role in shaping the group's mid-sixties output by focusing on lean, driving instrumental hooks and tight vocal harmonies. While it did not reach the same widespread chart success as their earlier breakout, this single remains a respected artifact among soul collectors for its role in defining the upbeat, kinetic style that solidified The Capitols' place within the competitive Detroit recording environment.
