AGAINST A BACKGROUND OF BLACK SCHMALTZ, SWAYING, SCATTING AND GOSPELATEING . I LITERALLY ALMOST CANNOT STAND MOST OF IT.
"NEO YO" AND "EARTH WIND AND FIRE" WERE HYPED AND MAN OH MAN DID THEY SUCK OR WHAT. YOU CAN LOOK AT THEM IF YOU WANT TO ON LINE.
THE EWF FALSETTOS ARE VERY FAIRY.
WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING WAS THE INCREDIBLE BASS LINE IN LET'S GROOVE I KEPT SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER BASSIST AS I COULD SEE THE "POSEUR POSSIBLY" FRONT MAN BASSIST WAS NOT PERFORMING THAT BURPING FUNK BASS LINE. I FOUND HIM, EARTH'S BURPING FUNK BASS IN THE BACK. HEY MAN!
TALIBE TERQUALE CALLS HIMSELF TALIBE. THOUSANDS OF BLACK CULTURE ADVOCATES RESPONDED WHEN I TRASHED HIM MANY LONG YEARS AGO.
HE SUCKS LIKE "DRAKE" AND "THE WEEKEND" SUCK LIKE ANDY WILLIAMS OR PERRY COMO WHITE GUY SUCKED.
I HAVE PLAYED LIVE WITH VERY GOOD BLACK MUSICIANS, WHO ROCKED OR DID ORIGINAL OR DYNAMIC BLUES.
JOE FRIED EGG WHITE PERFORMED AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
BELL BIV DEVOE WAS A BRIGHT RHYTHMIC DANCING SPOT IN THE GRAY. THEY HAD A REALLY ENERGETIC AND SPOT ON THE RHYTHM BLACK CHIC DANCING AND LOOKING FIT AND ENTHUSIASTIC AND ACTUALLY ROCKING.
ALL THE BAND MEMBERS DANCED BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE BLACK WALTZ SCHMALTZED AND STUMBLED AND MARCHED LOOKING PURPOSFUL
THEY PERFORMED RAP RHYTHMS SO THAT EVEN I A ROCK BIGOT THOUGHT THE WERE VERY CATCHY AND VERY PERSUASIVE OF THE MOOD THEY WANTED TO CREATE.
I SUGGEST WATCHING BELL BIV DEVOE IN A VIDEO NOT OUT YET OF THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE "JUNETEENTH" .
WHY WOULD I HAVE EARNED THAT NAME?
DESPERATE TO PRACTICE WITH WELL REHEARSED BANDS I ALWAYS HAD MY EQUIPMENT WITH ME READY TO GO AND I WOULD BE PRACTICED RIGHT UP USING CD's TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH ROCK, JAZZ, COUNTRY AND BLUES BANDS AND THEIR SUBVARIANT GENRES.
IF YOU WROTE A NEW SONG OR A NEW ALBUM I WOULD LIKELY BE ABLE TO ACCOMPANY YOU AND PERHAPS EVEN EXPAND YOUR SONG WITH FURTHER EXTEMPORIZATION AT ANY LOCATION WHERE LIVE MUSIC WAS PERFORMED WITHOUT EXCLUSION THROUGH CATEGORIZATION DISCRIMINATION.
MUSICIANS AND COMPOSERS LIKED THAT.
I WAS DEFAMED BECAUSE I REFUSED TO CONSIDER A MUSICIAN WHO RAN A BLUES COVER BAND TO BE A GREAT ARTIST. I THINK IN RETROSPECT THAT THE LOW GRADE COVER BANDS CLOGGED THE STAGES MAKING IT VERY HARD TO KEEP ORIGINAL MUSIC BANDS, THE ONLY REAL BANDS, EMPLOYED.
NEVERTHELESS I SAT IN WITH TONY'S BANDS A FEW TIMES. I JOINED HIM IN MY USUAL WRITING SESSIONS,TO PLAY THE NEW MUSIC OF SUE MEDLEY WHERE HE WAS A SIDEMAN, PERHAPS HIS MOST REAL AND VALUABLE ROLE AS A MUSICIAN. HE SAID THAT I HAD ORIGINATED MOST OF THE "RATCHES", THE SOARING ACCURATE EXPANSION OF THE SONG INTO AN EXPLOSIVE LEAD.
