The Radiants

The Radiants were an American doo-wop and R&B group popular in the 1960s.

The group formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1960, where its members met singing in the youth choir of Greater Harvest Baptist Church. They performed both gospel and secular tunes, the latter of which were written by leader Maurice McAlister. While attempting to land a record deal, they found that labels weren't interested in gospel groups anymore, and concentrated on secular tunes, eventually landing a deal with Chess Records. Billy Davis produced their early records, including the first, "Father Knows Best" b/w "One Day I'll Show You", which was a regional hit in Cleveland in 1962.

Several more singles for Chess followed, but didn't sell well, and by 1964 the group had more or less broken up. McAlister and baritone Wallace Sampson continued on as a trio with new member Leonard Caston, Jr. (son of Leonard Caston). With this lineup they had their biggest hit, 1964's "Voice Your Choice". The follow-up, "Ain't No Big Thing", was also a hit.

Thirty One Days

by: Lyal Strickland

It's been thirty one days since I've seen my love
and this path of gold seems to've turned to dust
and this cross I bear, supposed to show I care
but all I want is you in my arms, maybe a little closer
And not so far from home, that's where I'm going
Too many times I've seen it fall away
And it's true I don't know where I'm gonna lay
every day should the goos Lord take my life away
But I'll take a green grass and my girl any day
over dirt and dust, halfway across the world
It's gonna be a long, long road to home
And I've passed too many faces along the way
And I've grown cold
those baby blues, they hold the news
but you refuse to fold
Stand in the kitchen, barely hold the phone
Scream at the lies it told you
Tomorrow I'm coming home
Well it wasn't my ride, it wasn't my time
but I guess that wasn't on their minds
when they laid that mine, no use in cryin'
and it's not that I wished it passed me by
I just don't believe that it's called a fight
If you can't see the white in his eyes
Too many times I've seen it fall away
And it's true I don't know where I'm gonna lay
every day should the goos Lord take my life away
But I'll take a green grass and my girl any day
over dirt and dust, halfway across the world
It's gonna be a long, long road to home
And I've passed too many faces along the way
And I've grown cold
those baby blues, they hold the news
but you refuse to fold
Stand in the kitchen, barely hold the phone
Scream at the lies it told you
Tomorrow I'm coming home
It's been thirty one days since I've seen my love
and this path of gold seems to've turned to dust
