about
Maurice & Mac produced a handful of great soul sides during the 1960s. Boyhood friends Maurice McAllister and McLaurin Green were members of Chicago’s Greater Harvest Baptist Youth Choir before forming the Radiants in 1960. Recording for Chess they produced some high-quality sides that fared somewhat favorably on the R&B charts, including the cuts “Voice Was the Choice” and “Ain’t No Big Thing.” Following a stint in the army for McAlister, Maurice and Mac started recording in 1967 with a much-ignored 45 on Checker Records called “Try Me.” Their second single, the Penn/Oldham tune, “You Left the Water Running” met with similar disinterest though today it’s considered a gem in the Southern soul repertoire. A few more singles ensued but, without much record company support, they went the way of the cutout bins. Maurice and Mac never recorded an album.
