Benjamin F. Aiken was born in Philadelphia, training as a barber in the family business, but was also fascinated by music from an early age and took up the guitar to accompany his smooth tenor voice. Ben and Gilbert, along with another brother, Joseph, joined fellow singers Gene Drew and Wallace Millsaps to form the gospel group Welcome Travelers. The group switched to rhythm and blues, and Ben released 45’s in the 1960’s and early 1970’s on “Squire” records, “Roulette” records, “Loma” records and “Philly Groove” records. Ben sadly died on 27th October, 2009. This disc has light, superficial wear to the label and vinyl, conservatively graded between VG+ and VG++ condition, worth checking out the flip too
