Where it came from
Released in 1966 on Karen Records, a subsidiary of Lu Pine Records, 'Zig-Zagging' served as a follow-up to The Capitols' major success with 'Cool Jerk'. The group, hailing from Detroit, was instrumental in shaping the rhythmic, brass-heavy sound that defined the mid-sixties soul scene. This record reflects the high-energy, dance-oriented aesthetic that the label sought to capitalize on following their initial chart-topping momentum.
The tracks were produced during a period when Detroit’s independent labels were attempting to carve out a distinct identity separate from the major Motown machine. The songwriting and arrangement lean into the punchy, staccato horn sections and driving basslines that were characteristic of the era’s soul output. While it did not reach the commercial heights of the group's debut, it remains a recognized artifact of the regional rhythm and blues scene that flourished in Detroit during the mid-1960s.
