Lezli Valentine - Love On A Two Way Street

Before Mark Greene or The Moments, Lezli Valentine written and performed these songs. Now is the time for the inquiring world to see who Lezli Valentine REALLY is and to give her the appropriate credit that she is due. This is the FIRST and the ORIGINAL recording of Love On A Two Way Street. Lezli Valentine was never credited with the authorship of this song. Lezli Valentine was the FIRST artist to kick off All Platinum Records with their very first song and hit "I Won't Do Anything". Over a course of time, I will be making videos of her music and to show who was THE FIRST artist that started it all and to credit her with her authorship and background contributions.

Lezli Valentine is THE THIRD contributor to the song writing most of the song's lyrics. This is Lezli's Statement:

Sylvia came into the office on the morning Two Way Street was created and said that she had a dream but that the only thing she remembered was "Love on a Two-way Street, Lost on a lonely Highway."--We went into Bert's office . . . Sylvia asked Bert to play what he felt (that became the melody) . . . I, Lezli Valentine, began to write the story line . . . "True love will never die, so I've been told but now I must cry, it is finally goodbye, I know . . . With music softly playing his lips were gently saying honey I love you". . .Sylvia wrote "he held me in desperation, I thought it was a revelation and then he walked out". . . I, Lezli Valentine wrote . . ."how could I be so blind to give of love the very first time, to be fooled is a hurting thing". . . Sylvia wrote "to be loved and fooled is a crying shame". . .Lezli Valentine wrote "while I bear the blame, as he laughs my name", the rest was completed, I recorded it; the lead sheets were hand delivered by one of the original Moments, John, who lived in DC. The original application was altered without my knowledge (omitting Lezli Valentine's name as a lyric writer . . . there are three writers on I Found Love On A Two-Way Street) Joseph Robinson, Sr. definitely knew this, (Joseph R.Robinson, Sr. said he would rectify this, evidently he never did. Each time I telephoned him on this he said he would take care of it) as did Ebert Mahon . . .AKA Bert Keyes and several recording artists in the Soul Sound Studios at the time, INCLUDING MARK GREENE, AL GOODMAN, BILLY BROWN & LARRY ROBERTS! This was nerve wrecking and resulted in hospitalizations

Enjoy THE ORIGINAL AND FULL VERSION of Love On A Two Way Street.
From who I called "The Living Historian" herself:
I GUESS YOU WOULD CALL ME THE LIVING HISTORIAN! IN 1967 at ALL PLATINUM RECORDS, I ORDERED A PITNEY BOWES MAILING MACHINE AND NAMED THE RECORDING STUDIO LOGO "SOUL SOUND STUDIO " ; HIRED BOOKKEEPER, ELIZABETH ROTH, HIRED RECEPTIONIST, MAVIS JACKSON; AUDITIONED BILLY BROWN; ALBERT GOODMAN;MET BERT KEYES, WILLIE AND THE MIGHTY MAGNIFICIENTS, SKIP SONNY AND PACE BROTHERS, WILLIE AND WEST {Deputy Commissioner Connie Jones recommended me, as I was a Stenographer under Gov. Nelson Rock'feller as well as a BMI songwriter, recording artist "THE HEARTS AND JAYNETTS" performing in Connecticut Ball Park with The Isley Bros, Hollywood Flames, etc. Asbury Park, NJ, Convention Hall with Shep and the Limelights and King Curtis

SO,I AM ALSO THE AUTHOR OF I FOUND LOVE ON A TWO-WAY STREET, I'M SO LOST, written for MARK GREENE ALONG WITH LARRY ROBERTS background NOT ON THE OUTSIDE, ETC.

You're right, I hate thieves- what ggoes around comes around Lezli can never be denied she was awesome. Thanks

[werewolfmanjackal]

@hulkami40 Anytime.

@boldrunner7 Another crook who needs to be exposed is Carl Davis. Maybe it was a good thing that I didn't get involved in this industry. This is way too sad. Too much plagiarism, drugs, theft and sex.

[werewolfmanjackal]

@boldrunner7 Thank you! There is just so much more that needs to be told.

[werewolfmanjackal]

@timmy841212 Yes, she did!

[boldrunner7]

@werewolfmanjackal That is really interesting. A lot of great acts went under because of this. Your boldness to expose the truth is respected,

[timmy841212]

@werewolfmanjackal Wow did she?! I had no idea she tried to steal songwriting credit from Bo Diddley! He basically tried to help her and Mickey out! Wow.

@shittywife Ebert Mahon aka Bert Keyes passed away in 1987. However, Billy Brown, Mark Greene, Rose-Marie McCoy and Louise Murray are all still living. Now that I'm with her, I have an attorney friend of mine working on getting her digital royalties and will also be filing a federal lawsuit. Now that Sylvia's passed, we will be seeking a judgement against her estate. Lezli and her family needs to get paid, PRONTO as our family is walking on a thin tightrope with expenses!

@shittywife No Lezli Valentine, No "I Found Love On A Two Way Street". Jay Z, Alicia Keys and others need to acknowledge her when they sampled her song in "Empire State of Mind" and other remakes.

Aside from a few other people, Lezli is basically the sole survivor of the integral part of All Platinum Records. Should she ever pass on, the truths regarding this label and its atrocities will die forever. THE TRUTH NEEDS TO BE TOLD NOW!!!
