The next single from Charlie Ingui is called "Movin' In Love's Direction"

"Movin In Love's Direction" follows the previous single "Wake Up Old World" It has long been part of "The Soul Survivors" live shows but never appeared on record untill now. Charlie explains 'Movin In Love's Direction' was conceived by Freddie Beckmeier, the band's (The Soul Survivors ) bassist. It was kind of a Jam they played live but never recorded because it was unfinished. It sat unfinished for quite some time but we finally added a second verse and a sort of call and response tag ending and recorded it, fortunately before my brother (Richie) passed away . He is heard on the record doing vocals with me . The release date is 22nd March 2024. Where it will be available on all streaming platforms. It is also the same date as the release of the 45 vinyl.

Charlie explains 'This has always been a theme in our songs inspired very much by our collaboration with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff of Philadelphia International Records whose songs like "Love Train" and "Love Is The Message" had a positive and spiritually uplifting message.'

In 1967, Charlie Ingui formed the band The Soul Survivors. They scored a hit record with Gamble and Huff' It was Gamble and Huff's first major hit with the song "Express Way To Your Heart" It Reached number 3 on the R&B chart, spent 15 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over one million copies! Charlie and Richie grew up in the Lower East Side of New York and were the same scene in NY with The Rascals, Joey Dee and the Starlighters, The Vanilla Fudge, and many other Blue Eyed Soul Bands that paved the way for folks like Hall and Oates.

Originally, they were a trio and had a third singer, Kenny Jeramiah, who went on to have success in Atlantic City.

They went on to make several other great records including "Mama Soul" which was also included on the 1969 album with Muscle Shoals producer. Rick Hall called. "Take Another Look" The Swampers with Duane Allman played on that album. In 1974, Gamble and Huff got a custom CBS label – Philadelphia International Music and signed the Soul Survivors once again. They made a fantastic record with their amazing band, Charlie and Richie Ingui, John "Beedo"Dzubak & The amazing Fred Beckmeier on bass. He was a major influence.

"Movin' In Love's Direction" is the flip side to the limited edition 45 vinyl.
