The Partland Brothers

Colgan, Ontario

The Partland Brothers are a pop/rock band best known for their 1987 hit single "Soul City". Originally fronted by brothers Chris and G. P. Partland with supporting session musicians, more recently they have recorded and performed as a trio with their brother Robin Partland. Originally from the small community of Colgan in Ontario's Simcoe County, they played in area bands before moving their act to Toronto in 1979 and forming Oliver Heavyside. In 1982, they entered and won the “Q107 Homegrown” contest, which attracted the attention of Capitol Records. Their first album as the Partland Brothers, Electric Honey, was released in 1986. The single "Soul City", a soaring anthem featuring the brothers' distinctive close-harmony vocals which saw them compared to a more contemporary version of The Righteous Brothers, was a Top 40 hit in both Canada and the United States.- Wikipedia
