Preface To My Forthcoming Column
Hi, ev'rybody
I just had to take a moment to write a 'prequel' to the full column I'll be posting in June.
On May 25th, 2007, I will be performing at the Luxury Soul Weekender at the Birmingham Hilton in Birmingham, England. This event also serves as the official launch party for my new album, THROWBACK/HARLEM '79 to '83 on Soul Brother Records. The project contains 12 previously unreleased songs written during that period and includes the musical performances of members of Convertion, Logg, Caprice, Change and many other great artists backing me up when we created the demos from which this album is derived.
It features many brand new songs such as "Midnight In The Streets", "Scandal", "Hold Up" & "All Into U", as well as covers of "Fly Girl", " Moment Of My Life" & "It's So Easy (You Can Do It)", based on the original demos I recorded before the songs went into actual production for the other artists. And a 'live' performance of Convertion and I doing Todd Rudgren's classic "Hello It's Me".
I look forward to 'partying hearty' with my UK faithful at this gala celebration. For more informationm, check out the flyer on the opening page of the website.
God bless... keep it real... and enjoy the album.
Peace.
