ROSE ROYCE
Rose Royce is a nine member band for
whom Norman Whitfield produced the MCA soundtrack to the Richard Pryor movie
Car Wash. With its hand-clapping, funky intro, exciting vocals and the band's
great performance, the title track became one of the biggest dance songs ever,
leaping to No.1 on the pop and soul charts and taking Rose Royce with it. Fortunately, the group turned out to be
neither a one-hit-wonder nor just a dance band.
Rose Royce's follow up from the soundtrack, "I Wanna Get Next To
You," was a gorgeous ballad as strong as anything Whitfield had provided
to the Temptations and the performance was again outstanding.
Formed by trumpeter/vocalist Kenny Copeland, drummer Henry Garner, trumpeter Freddie Dunn, and keyboardist Michael Nash, in the mid 70s, the group first served as a backup band for Edwin Starr, who introduced them to his "War" producer, Whitfield. This led to regular work with many of Whitfield's other Motown acts, including the Undisputed Truth.
As a principal vehicle for former Motown
hitmaker Norman Whitfield's engaging compositions, Rose Royce ascended to the
top of the Soul Music world with a string of great hits and a tight, full sound
that rivaled many of the best self-contained soul and funk groups of that era.
Car Wash moved Rose Royce to the head
of the R&B pack, and the group capitalized on its position with In Full
Bloom, the band's formal debut album (on Norman Whitfield's own Whitfield
Records), which topped the charts and landed the big hit, "Ooh Boy." In 1978 Rose Royce again proved to be a great
love song group, hitting the charts with two now-classic ballads, "Wishing
On A Star" and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" (later remade by
Beyonce) and the top five album Rose Royce Strikes Again.
Rose Royce continues to this day with
the foundation of Copeland, Garner, Dunn, and Nash who self-released the album
Live In Hollywood. A resurgence of their
music, through the continuing popularity of "Car Wash" and the cover
of some of their ballads by new generation singers, has made Rose Royce a
popular touring act again and kept the classy funk and soul flowing well into
the 21st Century. 
CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR
Named
after the neighborhood in their native Brooklyn, Crown
Heights Affair (C.H.A.), is a disco, funk and R&B fusion group
formed in 1973. C.H.A was originally known as Ben Iverson and the Nue Dey
Express which was a collaboration between music industry professionals -
Ben Iverson, Mark Lipetz, Donnie Linton and Britt Britton. It was the release
of their self- titled debut album in 1973, under RCA records, that marked the
band’s new moniker.
Throughout
the years the group consisted of vocalist Phil Thomas, keyboardist Howard
Young, vocalist/trumpeter James “Ajax” Baynard and Tyrone Cox, Vocalist/bassist
Lorenzo “Muki” Wilson, vocalist/guitarist William “Bubba” Anderson,
vocalist/percussionist Ray Rock, brothers- Bert Reid- Vocals/saxophonist (who
died of lung cancer in 2004) and Raymond Reid- vocals/trombonist, and the
newest member LA Blacksmith- vocals/saxophonist.
Crown Heights
Affair was a pioneering group in the 1970s, revolutionizing the R&B/ funk
approach to disco and dance music. The group gained recognition after Mark
Lipetz landed a deal with De-Lite Records in 1975, which was home to Kool &
the Gang.
Under the
management of Donnie Linton (who died in 2011), the song Dreaming a Dream was
No.1 on the Billboard disco charts for thirteen weeks and climbed its way up to
No.1 on the Hot Dance Club Play charts as well. Other singles that attracted a
worldwide audience were Every Beat of My Heart, Foxy Lady, Dancin’, You Gave
Me Love, I’ll Do Anything, Galaxy of Love and Sure Shot..
The
group has performed on American Bandstand , Soul Train, and Don Kirshner’s
Rock Concert which included a lineup with Earth, Wind & Fire and Jay
Leno as the up-and-coming comedian.
In 1976 C.H.A. performed for the royal family of the Netherlands at The Hague. The band has also made multiple appearances at the world famous Apollo Theatre in New York and the Royal Albert Hall in London.
They have many hit recordings by other artists
to their credit, such as:
France Jolie- Gonna Get Over You, Taana
Gardner- Heartbeat, Gwen McCrae - Funky Sensation, Unlimited
Touch- Music in The Streets, Empress- Dyin’ to be Dancin’, Denroy
Morgan - I’ll Do Anything For You, Amii Stewart- Knock on Wood and
Jocelyn Brown - Somebody Else’s Guy.
Crown Heights Affair made their triumphant
return to the concert stage in 2013 at BAM Cafe in Brooklyn, New York where
fire marshals had to turn away almost 400 fans. The band says any additional
artists/musicians and other performers will vary from show to show.
RAPPER'S DELIGHT
“I said a hip, hop, the hippie - the hippie
The rock it to the bang-bang, boogie say "up jump"
The boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Now, what you hear is not a test; I'm rapping to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
See I am Wonder Mike and I'd like to say "hello"
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown, the purple and yellow
But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
Say "up jump" the boogie to the bang-bang boogie…”
If, like me, you remember where you were and how you felt upon hearing Wonder Mike, Master Gee and Big Bad Hank recite 15 minutes of rap poetry in motion on “Rappers Delight” back in 1979, then PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS MESSAGE. Utilising Chic's Good Times, the summer anthem of 1979, it was probably the first time we heard a group alternating lead vocals rapping rather than singing on a massive and universal commercial hit. Its impact 34 years later is still on-going considering there was no template for this new genre of black music called Hip Hop that came out of the Bronx in the USA.
Those individuals are instrumental in providing the platform for other super-rapping outfits to carry the baton and have further commercial and underground success around the world. Their debut album showed the world that rap artists could be considered as recording artists, hence the entourage of acts like Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Sequence, Soul Sonic Force, Run DMC, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, The Jungle Brothers, Salt N Pepper to Black Eye Peas being examples of how Hip Hop & Rap have generated a culture which shows that much good can come from some of the concrete jungle neighbourhoods. Rap and Hip Hop is part of the major make up of today's commercial pop albeit the beats or the lyrical flow and a lot of that credit is down to the now legendary delivery of Master Gee, Wonder Mike and Big Bank Hank's party anthem linguistics.
Due to contractual reasons in the States, Wonder Mike and Master Gee are no longer allowed to use the name Sugarhill Gang! We received a very polite and humbling letter from their solicitor/manager asking Street Sounds to change the artist billing name. I have spoken to them and understand the situation. It is my understanding that Joseph Robinson Jr. now owns the name ‘Sugarhill Gang’. My personal feelings are not important and if voiced could instigate immense litigation (!), BUT I will say that I have seen this happen before and one of the most important and fundamental principles I have always followed is to respect the artists who have given us a piece of their souls in their performances, therefore even though we do not have to do this, I have made the decision to assist these iconic legends and comply with their request. From now on Wonder Mike and Master Gee will be professionally known as ‘Rapper’s Delight’.
I have a great deal invested in these guys. For those who don’t know my history, one of my first jobs was at PYE records where I was asked to evaluate the potential of the Sugarhill Records label for possible licencing in the UK. I flew to the States and met Joe Robinson and Sylvia Robinson, owners of the label, and after hearing “Rappers Delight” could hardly contain myself and yes reported back about this new genre of music and quite frankly told my bosses in London that they would be f****** crazy not to sign the label (oh, I also had heard Positive Force “We Got The Funk”, while in the studio). I was the PYE representative that welcomed Sugarhill Gang to the UK and blitzed the clubs on a whirlwind promo tour when the record started to explode and so feel like these guys are part of my family!
Please ask all Hip Hop fans and music lovers to support Wonder Mike and Master Gee; 2 of the ORIGINAL pioneers of Hip Hop! Please tell your friends to come to the Coronet on 22nd June and meet the originators of Hip Hop…shout it from the roof tops and support the guys under their new name ‘Rapper’s Delight’!!!
It is not for us to ask the reasons why this has happened; we can only make our own educated guesses, but please, if there are any individuals who want to knock what is after all only a name change, then think before doing it, as Wonder Mike and Master Gee have given 34 years of their lives to their music and to us! Wonder Mike, Master Gee and Hen Dog, you have the love, respect and support of Street Sounds.
FONDA RAE
Fonda Rae is an American rhythm and blues singer best known for her club hits like "Over Like a Fat Rat" and "Touch Me" (the later which was later covered by Cathy Dennis).
She also worked with part-time chart-toppers such as Don Armando and Kid Creole and the Coconuts. Fonda has also collaborated with artists such as Taka Boom, The Fat Boys and Debbie Harry.
