Rewind back to late 1985 early 1986 to me a forgotten UK gem born in the North West the brilliant 52nd Street feat the late Diane Charlamagne Tell me produced by the legendary Nick Martinelli Even in 2024 I paid nearly £50 last year for there debut album on CD money well spent Even in 2024 If it moves funk it timeless
No one who didn’t grow up and become saturated in Black Church music and in the explosive expressiveness evident in this clip, can fully appreciate the artistry of these five magnificent singers who spontaneously delivered their dynamic all for this live occasion and show a mixed audience what it’s like to create memorable music spontaneously for a live audience !!
This audience should have been bringing the roof down in applause... I knew Kevon was a monster, but this is insane, and it doesn't even look like he broke a sweat....greatest voice I've ever heard. My supergroup would pair this man up w. Stokley from Mint Condition
I can hardly believe how talented Kevon is …as Baby Face said his brother Kevon has the real “baby face” is in our family, 😄 Babyface also said that Kevon took over the 🎤 microphone again because he wasn’t going to allow anyone to make him look inferior…he always knows his talent and ability to hit those high notes.🎶 Kevon can just sing.🎵
If you think k that’s mocking shit you’d hate to see me in front of those edmonds brothers 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 I would be like that old lady that use to be at the Apollo show
I believe the audience didn't truly appreciate what they witnessed ..who ever is alive still and see this and were to reflect would be like this was priceless especially when comparing it to now
Why am I just hearing this now? This song is so smooth should have been released. Melvin Riley is one of the smoothest singers still in the game almost 40 years. Melvin Riley from RFTW, Stokely from Mint Condition, Steven Russell & Al Mac from Troop need to come out as a supergroup. Can you imagine that? I would go to that concert. We need to bring old-school RnB back to show this next generation how to do it.
Because no one has made a video from their studio session besides me . The very first time i heard this song , i immediately fell in love ! The lyrics , the melody , the silky smooth voice of MELVIN RILEY ....Like i said numerous time MELVIN RILEY is my definition of TRUE VOCALIST !! He is in my TOP 10 alongside MICHAEL JACKSON/ MELVIN EDMONDS / KEVON EDMONDS / BERNARD JACKSON/ James "J.T " Taylor / DONNEL JONES and so on and so forth...... Yes indeed, it would be so freakin' nice to have them all together for one last diamond ALBUM !! 🤣🤣😁 I don't think Many singers nowadays can compete with the O G s Back then they sang live and danced at the same time for almost 2 hours ! it was nuts!!
@@kennyphoun4880 Man, all those singers you wrote I still listen to this day. Did you hear that new Christmas song by Melvin Riley - Nothing This Christmas.
