The Intruders is an American band formed in 1960 in Philadelphia and originally composed of Sam 'Little Sonny' Brown, Eugene 'Bird' Daughtry, Philipp 'Phil' Terry and Robert 'Big Sonny' Edwards.
A band that released a first Single "Come home soon" a year later in 1961, a Single that unfortunately went somewhat unnoticed...
They would have to wait 5 more years and the release in 1965 of the Single "(We'll be) United" to achieve their first major success.
A first album "The Intruders are together" was released 2 years later in 1967, an album that would also experience significant success, particularly thanks to the flagship Single "Together".
Success confirmed and amplified the following year in 1968 with the release of the album "Cowboys to girls", an album that will remain the highest ranked of their entire discography, notably thanks to the Single that bears the album's name.
New album "When we get married" two years later in 1970, an album that will not really experience the same enthusiasm from the public as its predecessor but which will save the furniture in extremis with the Single that bears the album's name.
New successful album "Save the children" in 1973, an album that will offer them one of their only global successes with the huge title "I'll always love my mama (Part 1)".
A feat that they will never be able to repeat later despite the release of other albums and other Singles.

Tracks :
1961...a first title full of finesse and lightness as they knew so well how to do them at the time. We inevitably ask for more...
1966...we'll have to wait almost 5 years to see them meet the demand. But here they are again anyway and that's the main thing...
1966...a year 1966 that finally rhymes with first success. Of course the success will be limited to the United States but it's already something as they say...
1966...now that the band has tasted success it is clear that they surely do not intend to stop there. The coming years will prove it more than evidently...
1967...there is real talent in these boys and it is clear that all they have left to do is produce THE title that will change everything...
1967... it won't be with this title but it could be that we are getting closer and closer. So let's be patient a little longer...
1967...title after title the group shows with certainty that he has everything it takes to do great things. We didn't doubt it for a single second...
1968...and here is THE title of recognition, the real one. This time it was the right one and the group is now part of the Elite, that's for sure...
1968...a year 1968 which saw them reach impressive levels of success without paradoxically offering them global success at this stage...
1968...for planetary recognition they will have to wait a little longer. In any case, the hardest part is already done as they say...
1969...the last year of a decade that saw them blossom and then explode to the highest level. All they had to do was grab the planetary star to definitively enter the legend...
1969...a year 1969 which will undoubtedly remain as their most prolific of all. We are already at 2 titles but there will be 5 in the end...
1969...five titles that will all be ranked which is a real achievement in itself. For the moment everything is going really well...
1969...their highest ranked title of the year. The others have nothing to be ashamed of in their rankings, but only this one will experience any major success...
1969...here comes the 5th and last title of the year. For the moment everything the group has produced has been favored by the public, excellent work at this stage...
1970...the beginning of the 70s which starts on more or less the same basis as at the end of the previous decade. Everything is under control as they say...
1970... on the other hand it is clear that the group will not go higher in the Charts. At best he consolidates its position at worst it is the beginning of a slow but steady decline...
1970...for now we will only talk about consolidation which is somewhat reassuring about the short term. But only in the short term...
1971... ten years already since the group started its career and the results are more than flattering in terms of success achieved, that's for sure...
1971...still no global hit at this stage but it could change somewhat later. A little patience...
1971...it won't be for this year 1971 but it could be that the next year will be the right one at this level in any case...
1972...they will only release one title during this year 1972 but it will still bring them their first global hit. Finally...
1973...new global success the following year which can only delight them to the highest degree. All their efforts were not in vain...
1973...we would have hoped for a third pass as they say but that will not be the case. There will still be success but limited exclusively to the United States...
1974...the production of titles slows down more and more, which does not necessarily bode well for the rest of the events...
1975...not only is the production of titles slowing down but it is also the fall in the Charts. Beware of danger...
1975...while all their titles had been ranked for 10 years, here comes a first title that will pass 'through'. Decidedly, nothing is going well...
1984...then a big gap of almost 10 years. The essentials are preserved since they are back but we undeniably came close to the worst...
1985...a return that will only find favor in the eyes of the Great Britons because for the rest it will be rather general indifference in their native land...
1985...after all, as long as they still figure at least a little in the Charts, isn't that the main thing ? And it doesn't matter that they figure at the bottom of the rankings...
1985...the beautiful adventure will not go any further in any case. It will have lasted almost 25 years, which is not nothing all the same...
