[SKOTP69]

I saw the most gorgeous girl on the train this evening...serious eye contact...

[DrBukcake]

This sounds exactly like Kashif! If I was Kashif I'd sue this guy!

[sage1skee]

@DrBukcake Kashif did the arrangements and plays half the instruments why would he sue fonzi?

[Djrealign]

this entire album is classic electro funk r&b! SUPERB!!!!! KASHIF......

FONZI (no e)

Classic "Kashif" sound on this track!

[hughwrang]

nice track - back in the days of audiogalaxy i heard this entire album! no idea now where to find it thtough :(

[sblizzy]

Im a huge fan of Fonzi and that whole chic movement. I am thankful that they came around in my lifetime growing up.

[themusicknowitall]

I love Fonzi Thornton, we was so underappreciated imo. I'm 22 and even I know this, you always hear his vocals on Chic songs (like already stated) I've been looking for "The Leader" all over the place, I need to buy it. Thanks Archie for posting this! :]

[BoogieBadge]

oh yeah... this and "Beverley" Fonzi is the man. Wish I had this album too.

[RenKinRaM]

Yeah its so hard to get hold of this Album I've seen it going for £100 even more as it is a rare album.

[pocatchictributecom]

Fonzi did an album project before this which was produced by CHIC masters Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards. Unfortunately this project was rejected by the record company. And therefore never released, though the demo tracks still exists. Fonzi was a long time CHIC member, choir leader and collaborator. He also helped other artists and groups to get some of CHIC's vocal glory. Fonzi is still working with CHIC today.

[SoulBoogieBoy]

Wow, I'd love to hear this shelved LP! Fonzi has a really soulful, distinctive voice that could always be heard on all of Luther Vandross' recordings! His track from the 'Soup For One'film sountrack 'I Work For a Living' is an absolute gem!

'The Leader' is a great album & it reads like a who's who in soul/r&b at the time! Everyone from that New York scene is on there! Love it!

[hjb1000]

There is a $40.00 Japanese remaster on Amazon... I am considering getting it . worth it.

[scaniafunk]

thanks for this great video. A true masterpiece of an album by Fonzi!

[ArchieGe]

YW :)

It's also on CD so when i get a hold of one,

i will post some more :)

'm thinking Beverly or Sha 'n' Da (Happy Love Song)

or maybe u have a suggestion :D

[ArchieGe]

and yes it surely was a Gr8 album :)

[bksmith37]

This sounds like a Mighty M production. You this guys is Luthers best bud. I used to track both of them when they did the Chic stuff. Do youu have his track" Beverley" on RCA? I had it before I went to college but lost it moving around over the years.

[SoulBoogieBoy]

I think you are right - I'm sure Kashif had something to do with the production of this track & that is definitely Ira Siegel on guitar who plays on all those early 80s Kashif-related classics. I can the backing vocal Kashif always used to use, BJ Nelson, doing backing vocals! I love her voice!

[SoulBoogieBoy]

Oooh, let me see!I really love the Leader (the title track) The punchy groove & those sassy cheerleaders, backing singers & Fonzi's brilliant vocals makes this a great track. Oh yeah & my girl Tawatha is on there too which is always a bonus ;-)
