Good lawd dude was sangin his damn face off....Even still I couldnt help but notice his nice blue jumper had his "junk" on full display! Apparently dude was blessed with more than just a voice....LOL
Wow, this brings back so many memories of my childhood. My parents gave a lot of parties back in the 70's. Just remembering the beads hanging, strobe lites, bell bottoms and afros... Oh, and the afro pik with the black fists! ONE LUV
By the time the song hit the stores, however, Ann left to devote time to her family, leaving Londee Loren as the sole female member. Due to a brief dispute with their management company, their next hit, "Until It's Time for You to Go" featured, instead of the group members, future Supremes member Susaye Greene as lead vocalist.
The dispute, as I heard it, was the guy who does the rap at the beginning, had like a lover's dispute with Londie, and brought in Susaye to dis her. Since she was kown for singing really high, makign a hit of "Intil It's Time for you to Go' was supposed to embarras her. Shock of shocks to him when Londie performed that song on stage too, huh? LOL!
n 1974, the group issued their hit album, It's Been a Long Time, which spawned the hits including the title track and their cover of the psychedelic single "Wildflower", which became a top ten hit in the UK singles chart. After the release of their sixth RCA album, Comin' From All Ends, the group split from RCA, Fuqua and their management company and signed with Buddah.
New Birth's Buddah debut, Blind Baby, featured the group's only number-one R&B single, a cover of the Jerry Butler classic, "Dream Merchant". After the release of the 1977 album, Behold The Mighty Army, the Wilson brothers split from the group following in-fighting and growing tensions in the group.
The group returned in 1979 James Baker, Tony Chruchill and Austin Lander introduce Jerry Bell as their new lead vocalist with Platinum City and in 1982 with the I'm Back album. Leslie Wilson had left the group to replace Jeffrey Osborne in L.T.D. Jerry Bell left the group in 1981 to become the lead vocalist for Motown's Dazz Band.
The Wilsons toured with a new ensemble as New Birth in 1994, and released a few albums under the new name in the decade since. Drummer Robin Russell released a solo CD entitled Drum Beats in 2004.
Since the group's initial split, their songs have been covered from the likes of Jamie Foxx, who sampled their cover of "Wildflower" for his 2005 hit, "Unpredictable". R&B group Something for the People sampled their "It's Been a Long Time" for their 1996 hit, "My Love is the Shhh". Rap artist Lil' Wayne sampled "You Don't Have to Be Alone" from their self-titled album in his song "La La", And again Jerry Bell's remake of "Its Been A Long Time"
Actually the lead singer is Leslie Wilson who was the original lead singer on the classic New Birth hits-Wildflower, Been such a long time and Dream Merchant...Jerry Bell joined the group as the lead singer later.
YOU SHOULD HEAR JERRY BELL'S REMAKE OF BEEN A LONG TIME!! HE WAS ONE OF THE SINGERS IN THE GROUP, HE'S A BAD MOTHER F" HE IS ON UTUBE UNDER JERRY BELL. NOW HE IS A VOCAL BEAST!!! HE WILL REALLY TAKE YOU BACK. THERE ARE NO ARTIST OF TODAY DOING ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!
Grand Master Jerry Bell of New Birth and the Dazz Band, was the lead singer. Jerry also recently released the remake of "It's been a long time": View right here on YouTube.
This multi-talented artist has been a stunt man for many famous actors. His latest project is the film titled "Bodyweapon: The Shadow Kumite".
@stevieplez2 I can appreciate that. Yet, there is no denying that this groove is hot. So, for me, by the second verse, my chair would have been shaking. First or 100th time hearing it.
I thought I would never live to see this group in concert- you made a man's dream come true with this footage. This song got me through the hardest of times not to mention the fact that New Birth was too underrated then and now. At their best, I compared them to E,W&F and the AWB. New Birth was slick.
