Randy Brown - At Christmas Time

Image
I decided to present this article which fits with Christmas. I think  Randy Brown  deserved more recognition. I don't say that he was an unknown singer but he could have more success in his career. Randy Brown released five albums from 1976 to 1981. The album entitled " Intimately " which was released in 1979, reached #46 on the Billboard R&B chart. In my opinion his best album was " Welcome To My Room " which was released in 1978.  Many people ignore this Christmas song. It was released on Sound Town Records. The label was formed by Homer Banks , Reginald Jenkins & Chuck Brooks in 1983. This Christmas song was penned by Homer Banks & Chuck Brooks. For many years Randy Brown had collaborated with them. Produced by Homer Banks and Chuck Brooks. Enjoy it. Merry Christmas!!! Note: The above posted single is not played in full.

After my article concerning the japanese band ChickenShack , I decided to present an article for a great show band from Philippines. The band named New Minstrels  is a popular show band of the 70s in Asia. The New Minstrels (Second generation) started in the late 70s. The group won 2nd place at the 3rd Metro Pop Music Festival for their song “ Ikaw , Ako , Tayo , Magkakapatid ”. Later they released a single with english lyrics entitled " Smile / I Don't Love You Anymore ". It was released on OctoArts International in Philippines. Both songs were written by Butch Monserret . Arranged by Eddie Munji . Enjoy the beautiful song " Smile ". Later as they wanted to change their format, they also decided to change their name to Something Special . Under that name, they enlivened the entertainment night scene in the most popular bars during that era. Note: The above posted single is not played in full
