A Chicago, USA, based group.
The recognisable name among the five musicians is Ed Townsend, who had a 1958 vocal hit on Capitol with "For Your Love". Townsend, who produced and plays piano on Intrigue with Soul, later co-write the 1970s hit "Let's Get It On" with Marvin Gaye.
The other members of Perry & the Harmonics are Clarence Perry on tenor sax, Richard McCrea on organ, guitarist Paul Pratt and drummer Maurice Wells.
"Do the Monkey with James" was pulled from their only LP "Intrigue with Soul" as a single, but neither it nor the LP had any impact. Both are now collector's items. The one LP is the entire recorded output of Perry & the Harmonics.
