Rodney Friend for many years was along with the gospel singer Philip Nicholas. Date of Publication: May 29, 1981. Note: The above posted tracks are not played in full

James Vincent - How Can I Thank You Enough 1978

Image
James Vincent is a guitarist from Chicago. He has never been content to be a student of one style music. In 1978 he recorded and released a single entitled “How Can I Thank You Enough” on Caribou Records. It was distributed by CBS Records. It was also included on his album entitled "Waiting for the rain". However the single is a bit different from the LP track. Composed and produced by himself. While the music was still very much R&B jazz fusion the lyrics boldly reflected his newfound Christian conversion while staying in Hawaii. It shipped world wide because of Space Traveler's success and he received hundreds of letters in support of this record, which had crossed over with a message in secular music that was unprecedented.

In 1980 Lamont Dozier formed the soul group Zingara. Lamont found a trio of singers James Ingram, Lady Bianca and Wali Ali. Lamont Dozier said: "My wife Barbara knew singer James Ingram. James was very well known around Los Angeles for singing on everyone's demos”. Before I knew what had happened, one of the songs, " Love's calling " had turned into this huge cult radio hit and people were jumping up and down looking for the guy behind the record. “I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever written and produced,” affirms Lamont. At the time, Geffen Records called and wanted to sign the album - and the group, too. “But I was already kinda involved with the people at Wheel Records, so I stuck with them. Maybe I took the wrong option” said Lamont. Zingara released an album in 1981 on Wheel records. In 1979, Green decided that he needed a fresh start. So he made the move from Chicago to Los Angeles. Garland Green explained “My reason for leaving was

Johnny Bristol - Rosebud 1981

Image
This song is not rare, but definitely one of my personal favorites. The first time I heard this song was on a radio show in Greece in 1995, without knowing who the artist was. Then I started looking for artists with deep voices in my reference books. Finally I found it. He was Johnny Bristol. Immediately I bought this 12 inch from London. It was released only in England and Germany on Hansa Records. It is also included on the album " Free to be me " on Handshake Records in 1981. Composed by Johnny Bristol and Hense Powel. Strings and horns arranged by the great H.B.Barnum. Produced by Johnny Bristol. Note: The above posted single is not played in full.
