Author Message the crazy dutchman (andreas) 3-Pundit Username: andreas Post Number: 53 Registered: 4-2004 Posted From: 62.194.16.136 Posted on Saturday, June 12, 2004 - 6:18 am: �� ��� Nice pics as ussual Wonder B! Hey... I don't think Glenn Jones was ever married to Linda Tillery. Glenn was born in 1962 and Linda in 1949 (a difference of 13 years). Sure it's possible that they got married at one stage but why would Glenn leave out such details when I did an interview with him some time ago? (Glenn is very open and honest). He told me that he is still married to Genobia (Genobia Jeter-Jones), another vocalist with whom I would love to work with one day, but that aside. Genobia and Glenn have been together since the mid-eithies and I have a feeling that they will be together as long as they both live. These two cats have so much in common. Here's another great shot of the band Quazar while in the studio (late 70s). www.thesoulofamsterdam.com Wonder B (wonder_b) 6-Zenith Username: wonder_b Post Number: 412 Registered: 4-2004 Posted From: 80.14.113.96 Posted on Saturday, June 12, 2004 - 7:25 am: �� ��� Absolutely right Andreas... I got the names mixed up again... sometimes it happens! There are a couple of artists like that which for some reason are always mixing up in my head... of course it's Genobia... I have a great LP by her too. Then who did marry Linda???? LOL Nice shot of Quazar Andreas. I had never seen it. Wonder B If you mess with the 'fro, you gotta go!

Yes we spoke about the days when he was with The Modulations. He laughed and was amuzed by the questions because he had to go back in time, I mean really dig deep into his memory because it brought back many great memories LOL. He learned a lot being in the group and he told me that he still enjoy doing gospel as well. I believe Glenn is in the studio as we speak working on a new album. Are you formiliar with all his materials throughout the years or are you stuck in the 70s baby? LOL His voice has matured over the years and most of his new stuff is sweet and mellow (unlike the songs he cut early to late 80s). Wonder B, like yourself I don't have most of the albums you posted in your last post. I do know that most of them were issued privat and independently in limited numbers. I'm primerly interested in the SPACE ARK, MASTERSHIP and SHAKE lp's. If they re-apear on E... then I will grab them LOL. If you are into independent early 80s Soul/Funk then you may enjoy 'The Pied Piper Of Funkingham' LP. The lead singer on this long player is GASTON (named after the town in which he was born, GASTONIA). Not all of the songs are equaly good but if you don't like main stream grooves then this will work for you. Gaston also released an LP prior to 'The Pied Piper.....' (on the same label, worth checkin out). The Rawls & Luckett LP you posted is not really our stuff so to speak (it's very bluesey). The duo is still around today, they released another album a few years back...

I never heard anyone ask him about it before. I have the LP with the ballad That's The Way Love Should Be with Zenobia Jeter. I also never knew that they were married. To be honest, I got an recent LP of his, but for the most part, his music wasn't promoted heavily here in N.Y. I never understood how he isn't a major artist, as he is a quality singer. Sometimes this industry makes no sense to me at all.

LOL. It's unfortunate that most US artists don't get the recognision or support they deserve! Unlike the US... we European's embrase US artists - they all love being here for obvious reasons! Yes you are correct, Jones's music was never properly promoted (although signed to majors in the past). Personaly he did a great job promoting his latest LP 'It's Time'. Kiss FM in NYC was fully behind it (that's your neck of woods right?). Unfortunatly it did not open new doors for him. Like you so well said... the industry makes no sence at all.

But I caught the show at The Rivera on Sept 17TH, I think? I think 2Pac had just died. For one alotta things went wrong before and after the show, personally speaking for myself. I resented by being disrespected by a certain members kids, and being treated like some kind a phool. Moving on. When The Mothership Reunion Tour dropped in Central Park. I was told by Pedro that they packed up and played at a club for 7-8 hrs straight. I wanted to know where you there at that gig too! I remember the Uncle Jam Wants You pic of yours. When I was a fan, my cousin and some hommies went to the Motor Booty Tour. The band members threw copies of that particular record out to the audience, it was plastic. I've listened to 'P' is The Funk, where George states he gave away the plastic record. I think he meant the "Clone Communicado:1 one. I had the other "In The Cabin Of My Uncle Jam" or known as P is the Funk. Both copies are on The Family Series, Vol 2 P is the Funk. The P-Funk Headquarters was runned by Pedro Bell at that time. He personally gave me a copy of both plastic records, and a few extras. Wonder B, Sylk was a band from right in the neighborhood along with Captain Skyy. My jam along with band usta kick their. Not because of their popularity and because they had an album out. No, not so. My so-called band was mad tight and had the dynamatics plus the musicianship.

I can help you there. The first group to ever use the name was a 3-4 member female vocal group from Chicago. They we're discovered by my friend and given the name by Larry Montgomery. Silk recorded two sides for Nation Records (which was a Chi Town label), the A&B sides we're "Falling In Love Isn't Easy" b/w "Come Over Here". Some of The NS'ers posted once said that "Falling In Love" is a big hit in the UK. I and Larry was quite surprised of learning that. I like "Come Over" because it sound so Chicagoish, I like both sides. 2) The other Sylk was a band that was from here in the neighorhood. I forgot how many members we're in the band, at one time it was a slew of 'em. Their specality we're R&B/Funk/Jazz as probably desribed of the lp you have. They made an 2nd lp, but i don't what went wrong? They made some splash around town here and gigging around here and there, as far as to travel out of town too. I guess when they we're trying to get in the music biz, they've musta hit a snag somewhere. They also went by the Smooth as Sylk. 3) The 3rd group of Silk and/or spelled Sylk was a protege male vocal group of Hip Hop/R&B singer Keith Sweat which is a big star here in the states. I don't know where he came up with the name? I do know the female vocal group had some regional play in places like NY and ATL, etc. CUZ Chgo, IL Don (don) 5-Doyen Username: don Post Number: 186 Registered: 4-2004 Posted From: 68.75.62.210 Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 6:04 pm: �� ��� Hey Wonder B, I forgot to mention that the Silk I first mentioned at the top of this thread also recorded for Gamble & Huff's PIR.

I can understand the confusion! The most popular and best selling of all the groups named Silk is (as previously mentioned), the 90�s US R&B male vocal group (who have just released another CD, independently I might add), then there used to be a UK group called Silk as well, recording for RCA Records. This Rock & Roll band should not be confused with any of the other groups named Silk. Their discography is as follows: Silk - 'I Won't Last A Day Without You' b/w 'Flying Song' (CBS Records 1972) UK Silk - 'Happy Together' b/w 'Wilshire Boulevard' (CBS Records 1973) UK Silk - 'Sing Me A Song' b/w 'Freewheelin'' (CBS Records 1973) UK After a little bit of research they other day I stumbled upon an LP by yet another group called Silk. Confusing? LOL Now� this group recorded a self titled album on Bell in 1976 (incl: 'The Kids A Punk' and �Everyday Anyway�). A few other (Silk) groups discussed by you guys�. SILK � MIDNIGHT DANCER (PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL 1979). Debra Henry (vocals), Melvin Watson (Bass), Tyrone Durham (Drums), Clement Burnette (Guitar), Dwight Smith (Clavinet), Alvin Brown (Brass) and Charles Mann (Saxophone). This group should not be confused with vocal trio Silk (Marlena Jeter, Maxi Anderson and Gwen Machu, a top background vocal session trio from Los Angeles who recorded an RCA/Prelude album 'Smooth As Silk� in 1977). TRACK LIST: 1. Midnight Dancer 2. Your Good Loving 3. Secrets 4. I Can't Stop (Turning You On) 5. Love's Gonna Get You (In The End) 6. Debbie's Disco Theme 7. Get On Up 8. Keep Dancing SILK � SMOOTH AS SILK (RCA/PRELUDE 1977) This group was formerly known as Anglo Saxon Brown, who released one LP in 1976 for Atlantic Records titled, 'Songs For Evolution'). TRACK LIST: 1. I Know I Didn't Do You Wrong 2. Give Yourself to Me 3. Leaving Me 4. Call Me 5. Live While You Can 6. Party Pt. 1 & 2 7. Ain't No Need of Crying 8. On Fire 9. Let Him Go I do remember seeing the Silk LP on eBay most recently (the LP which you, nor I know anything about) however� I believe this may well be the same group who dropped �Smooth As Silk� but then again I don�t!! LOL What�s so confusing is that both records were issued/distributed by Prelude. Maan I gotta go and hunt this record! Let�s wish each other good luck!!

Maurice Jackson, vocalist, formerly of the group Silk, started his career in Reno Nevada 1966. In that year a group called Checkmates Ltd who sponsored his first recording ('Love Has Left Us'). In 1969 after moving back to Chicago E. Rondney Jones became his manager. His next big recording was a song called 'Lucky Fellow'. This song was produced by the famed late Donny Hathaway & Emmett Garner. In 1970 Eddie Thomas co-produced on Curtom Records his next project with the famous R&B group (Independents). This group was hot to go! With songs like: Missing You, Baby I've Been, & fame R&B Cut" Leaving Me". In 1974 he left the Independents and formed a group called Silk. They recorded two albums on Prelude Records. In 1979 he left the enterainment world and went into the ministry. Now he's a pastor for Christ speading the gospel and Christ's Love at Fellowship Bible Mission Church in Chicago at 95th & Jeffery I believe the two other lead vocalists of Silk, Eric and Arthur are also into gospel these days.

I confirmed it with my former air personality buddy. I believe it to be true, cause like I said in my earlier post on this thread that I owned this rare triple set lp. You are correct in the songlist Wonder B. To any doubters, you all only know it as a double lp, because that's really you all know (no pun intended). At the time, I believe there we're only a few, few copies pressed. I had mine. Wonder B you are correct.
