"Leave The Message Behind The Door" by Colonel Abrams

[TheMyqsta]

I was lucky to fall in love to the colonel's slow jams while on high school. It created such beautiful memories. Very difficult to choose a favourite. I think he was totally under-rated. Wonder what he's doing now?

Thanks crenshawjazz98 & rosje2007!! True, his uptempo stuff is VERY underrated. He has been VERY underrated. I think he came out around the time there were so many good/great male singers, he got lost in the shuffle.

no doubt the colonel had what it took to go much further than club. but like someone said, there was so much going on and lots just got lost. i loved this and others. thought he had such a manly voice. do you have his hits with visual? no one has anything by visual posted. they did a few favs too.

This was one of my favorites from the 80s,. Over the years I would replay verses in my mind, but thanks for posting this!!!

On of the great 12" b/w Music Is The Answer.

A great ying and yang duo of songs showcasing his talent for scorching club tunes and lush balladry.

The man is a class act.

[crenshawjazz98]

Thank you very much for your comment Ms. lepoetress,...yes this is the ish! His uptempo tracks are fantastic,..but his slow jams were/are very underrated.

[lepoetress]

You're welcome and so true. I'm surprised he didn't blow up more than he did, but the 80s was so crowded with talent ... a lot of folks got left behind.
