WOULD YOU BUY A RECORD FROM THIS GROUP?

OVER 4 MILLION PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE. This group is the Cornelius Bros. & Sister Rose. And while their name isn't exactly a household word yet, their records are. Treat Her Like A Lady was their first shot at the pop sin- gles market. It shot up the charts almost overnight, selling well over a million copies. Not bad for openers. Then along came Too Late To Turn Back Now which proved even more successful. So we went back to their incredible first album and plucked out another hit, Don't Ever Be Lonely. This week the Cornelius Bros. & Sister Rose delivered their second album. BIG TIME LOVER. Every track sounds like a smash hit. But we had to pick one and it's called I Just Can't Stop Loving You. It's one of those records you like to hear over and over again. And maybe this time you'll remember the name: CORNELIUS BROS.& SISTER ROSE "I Just Can't Stop Loving Your On United Artists Records 1111 ['redaction & Sound: Bob Archibald, Music Factory, Miami, Florida
