Background notes
Archive material and source history
Nelly Power started out in Philadelphia in the late 1960s, originally called The Sophomores. The group was made up of siblings Nelly and Charlyne McCray, along with their cousins Tony Anderson and Chuck Gibson. They signed with Atlantic Records in 1970 and put out their self-titled debut album that same year.
That first album included "The Boy I Love Is Up In The Gallery," which became their breakout single. The song's straightforward melody and direct lyrics about young affection connected with listeners and helped push the band into wider recognition. They followed it with albums like "Nelly Power II" in 1972 and "Nelly Power III" in 1973.
Their sound leaned on close harmonies and soulful vocal arrangements, with a rhythm section that kept things moving. They performed live regularly during those years, enough to warrant a live album in 1974.
