The Majestic Arrows contained none of the same members as their predecessor The Arrows, just the same egomaniacal impulse by manager/producer/songwriter Arrow Brown. The core of the group included veteran Larry Johnson, the young Gloria Brown (no relation), Arrow’s heretofore estranged daughter Tridia Brown, and Palario Collins, although there would be several personnel changes over their career that ran over half of the decade. "The Magic Of Your Love" was a massive hit in Chicagoland and is still recognizable to many of its denizens south of Madison Avenue, particularly for its crudely orchestrated and lengthy intro that many local deejays liked to talk over. "One More Time Around" was another unusual arrangement that can’t easily be compared to any major soul groups, but succeeds in its own way. "Another Day" was another minor hit and finds the group performing its most delicate harmonies, with Johnson turning in pitch perfect falsetto. The Majestic Arrows became the flagship act for the Bandit label, and their recordings were given the greatest attention. Tunes such as "Doing It For Us," "Love Is All I Need," and "Going To Make A Time Machine" were recorded for the label’s only LP and share in the sophisticated approach that "Another Day" benefits from.
