Im 30! I didnt know ne thing about this group until me & my mom listened to "You Make the Sunshine" by these guys last weekended over & over! I fell in love with it the 1st x i heard it! My mom was in tears becuz of the memories it brought back to her & when i tell you she made me tear up too...I love music...All music! I wonder if my moma knows they were 4rm Memphis? That wz her stomping ground back n the day!!
being from memphis , just to mention a few more , anita ward ( ring my bell ) , phineas newborn jr,& sr . charles lord sax man , 3 6 mafia , memphis bleek , rappers , and let's not forget w.c. handy .
jabbo , was a friend from benford street , the riverside hood . r.i p. my brother .
Temprees, Bar Kays, Dramatics, Issac Hayes, Albert King, Johnnie Taylor, Bobby Bland, Soul Children, Sam and Dave, Al Green, Mad Lads, Staple Singers, Eddie Floyd, the Emotions, Litle Milton, Barbara Mason, William Bell, Wilson Pickett, Rufus and Carla Thomas, David Porter, Booker T & the MGS, Otis Redding......
Didn't realize all these artist were out of Memphis! Memphis was Strong in the game. I have to correct you though! The Dramatics are from The big "D" Detroit!! Oh! and you can't forget the King!... Elvis!! he's a white guy! I know, my Bad!!! a lot of Talent from The big "M"
True, but what I trying to say was all these artists had their biggest success while recording in Memphis. Did you know that Maurice & Verdine White of EW&F, Aretha and Tommy Hearns were born in Memphis? Justin Timberlake is from Memphis also...
Watching old school reruns of Soul Train bought me to this video...matterfact this is the SAME episode I'm watching now. RIP JABBO!
