Birdlegs & Pauline - Birdlegs & Pauline

Birdlegs & Pauline - Birdlegs & PaulineAmong the rarest albums from Jim Kirchstein's Wisconsin based Cuca label, 1964's Birdegs & Pauline runs a playful gamut of girl group soul, sultry R&B, bluesy torch songs, and junk shop doo wop. The Rockford, Illinois based husband and wife duo struck gold with their Top 20 R&B hit "Spring" the year prior and frequently returned to Sauk City to see if there was any additional magic up Cuca's sleeve. Gathered here are the best of Birdegs & Pauline's
