Eldee Young , formerly members ofRamsey Lewis ' jazz trio, formed a new trio called the "Young-Holt Trio" with pianistDon Walker in 1966. They met with modest success, including the minor hit "Wack-Wack", which charted at number 40 on theBillboard Hot 100 .In 1968, the group renamed itself Young-Holt Unlimited, and replaced Walker with Ken Chaney. Under their new name, the group scored a number-three Hot 100 hit with "
Soulful Strut ", the backing instrumental track fromBarbara Acklin 's "Am I the Same Girl ". Follow-up releases would not match "Soulful Strut"'s commercial success, and the group disbanded by 1974, with Young and Holt returning to Ramsey Lewis' group by the 1980s.Albums discography
