A mystery to most, Darondo records are high on the wants-lists of many
collectors. He is spoken about in hushed-tones by other Bay Area
musicians. Back in the day he was seen cruising around town in a white
Rolls Royce (with a "Darondo" license plate). He opened-up for James
Brown and lived a colorful lifestyle hanging with folks like the
notorious Fillmore Slim. Take a listen to these tracks, released for the
first time together on an album, and you may agree that he could have
been the next Al Green or Sly Stone. But about 25 years ago Darondo
disappeared.
