History

The group formed in the very early 1970s by three brothers who once called themselves "The Vondors." They recorded a single for Bill Moss' Holiday records. Side A was a vocal track while the B side was instrumental. Through Moss' connections with Bell Records, two more singles were released on the Bell label. They changed their name to The Soul Partners and scored a local hit.

They changed their name in the 1970s to The Buckeye Politicians and released a single on Sceptor Records.

Later, the band traveled to England and recorded under the direction of Alan Parsons, producing one single. An album worth of material from the Alan Parsons sessions was recorded. However, the album was never released because the tapes were lost by the airline on their return to the United States.

They released a single and an album on Utopia records. They released a few more singles in the 1980s.

As part of a 2006 reunion they recorded a CD called Here I Am.

Original member Larry "LA" Almon died in 2008.
