The True Reflection
This is an excellent group from the 70s East Coast scene -- with a heavy harmony sound that should have made them famous! Philly greats like Norman Harris, Ronnie Baker, and Vince Montana, all working here in a mode that's similar to that applied to The Spinners after they made their move to Atlantic.
It's the band's harmonies that really take the cake, though -- as they mix together deep-rooted Temptations-esque righteous vocals with… Continue

Shadows
Black and silver shadows
hang on my window sill
...light dripping from a rainy sky
I lay upon my pillow...still
...as the clouds thunder lazily...by.
Willowy figures dance across…

MARIPOSA
Tropical depressions imminent,
catered to hot rains, known as my tears.
No time for long stories...
springtime is around my corner, prematurely,
coming early because she heard, and became upset
that winter ravaged my barren lands,
And denied life to my hypothermic soul.
Erratic became my vision
when I spotted you,fluttering with sunrays
as your spotlights
around my earth,
brave and unafraid you come… Continue

Curtis McNair - The Man Behind The Album Covers At Motown

is one of the less-recognized products of the Motown Records
music factory of the 1960s and '70s,
primarily because he has tended to work behind the scenes
despite recording a series of albums under his own name.
His signature style is a highly romantic approach to soul…

Out of the darkness, comes the void…
the promise of something untouched and uncharted.
The beginning of a life you
might fearfully welcome with an, “ok, give it to me” smile;
The contents of the Black album personifies this… A collection of
feelings I almost forgot to tell you, as it opens me up to…create a
new! I…

The Ronettes
Be My Baby...Ahhhh words forever instilled in my
mind from a beautiful saturday night way back in 1977.
As i sat down and prepared to look at Sha Na Na.
I was excited because days earlier i had heard
the 1960's hit Be My Baby and was blown away
by the sound of Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes
(she was known as Veronica Bennett at that time)
Then the moment came and my 10 year old mind
was in awe… Continue

Process & The Doo Rags
Produced by Rick James, Process & the Doo Rags looked like a '50s doo-wop group with their "processed" hairdos. Actually, the Buffalo, NY group was in vogue, a part of a brief mid-'80s run of harmonizing vocal groups that also included the Force MDs. The group's lineup was former Rick James backup singer James Hawkins, Stacy Lattimore, Henry Graham, Dennis Andrews, and Michael Gibson. Their charting single, "Stomp and Shout," from their 1985… Continue

Clouds
swirling gently in a heavenly bed..
while your breezes sweet,
sing melodies of eons of time
gone by..and whisper eons more ahead.
You give me taffy apple'd hugs of love
and freshly roasted peanuts of joy..
lemonade dripping from your expanse
mixed with laughter from above..
Oh, do not take, from my happy…

RECENT BLACK HISTORY REVEALED
On January 22, 1879 -- the legendary "Day of the Zulu," when more than twenty thousand Zulu warriors nearly wiped out the forces of the invading British army -- even the sun was on the side of the Zulu Nation.
