TRIVIA ? WHO WROTE -THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD?

FIRST OF ALL, LET ME WELCOME YOU HERE TO GRUVWORKS SABBY. I HAPPEN TO BE A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF FRANKIE MEDINA AKA "FUSION". IT'S GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU, THE ONLY MISSING MEMBER FROM THE 1-2-3 PUNCH COMBO OF FUSION-DESIRE-POISON. I ALSO GO WAY BACK WITH FRANKIE, FILLING IN FOR HIM AS "CABARET" WHENEVER HE WAS DOUBLE BOOKED FOR PARTIES. SO I SEE YOU STILL HAVE YOUR VINYL. THAT'S GREAT, IT MUST BE AN IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION! I KNOW ALL ABOUT FRANKIE'S, LET ME TELL YOU, HE ISN'T MISSING MUCH. AS PER YOUR QUESTION, WAS IT AUGUST DARNELL AKA KID CREOLE & THE COCONUTS?

BY THE WAY, I WAS ALSO A REGULAR AT CLUB 47, PROBABLY MY FAVORITE CLUB OF ALL TIME CAUSE YOU GUYS ROCKED AND PLAYED THE MOST UNUSUAL OBSCURE DISCO, THAT UNTIL THIS DAY CANNOT BE DUPLICATED!!!

HELLO OUTSIDER 85, THIS IS GREAT!!! WOW!! I REMEMBER THAT FAMILIAR ROUTE TO FRANK'S HOUSE CLOSE TO THE CORNER OF EASTEN AND BROOKLYN.. FRANK AND I HAD LOTS OF FUN. IT'S LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN WE WOULD HANG OUT AT ELAC AND THEN GO TO SHOP FOR RECORDS....FIRST RON'S THEN AARON'S THEN PRIME CUTS, STOP AT RECORD DEPOT AND MAYBE HIT ROCKAWAY AND SILVERLAKE. HE LIKED THAT 45 SLOW STUFF AND I WENT FOR MORE JAZZY ELECTRONIC EURO GROOVES...I SAW YOUR COVER ICON OF FROM HERE TO ETERNITY....AWESOME!!! GIORGIO IS ONE OF THE PIONEER'S ...INCREDIBLE..I TRADED A COPY OF THAT ALBUM FOR THEO VANESS' BAD BAD BOY SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE 12' SINGLE COLLECTOR'S DISKS (I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER GOING TO FINISH THAT). YOUR ANSWER WAS CORRECT TO THE TRIVIA QUESTION..MR. AUGUST DARNELL WAS THE COMPOSER AND PRODUCER OF MACHINE AND ONE OF MY BIG HEROES, ALTHOUGH I HEARD HIS BROTHER, STONEY BROWDER JR., WAS THE PRINCIPLE WRITER AND ARRANGER OF THE DOCTOR BUZZARD'S ALBUMS (I'LL PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU, OH YEAH!). I HAVE BEEN FINDING SOME RARE CUTS EVERYWHERE I GO TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION BECAUSE SOME SMART INDIVIDUAL GOT A HOLD OF 3 OR 4 CRATES OF MY STUFF WHEN I WASN'T HOME ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. LUCKILY IT HAS SLOWLY BEEN GROWING BACK AND EVEN BETTER NOW..I REALLY LIKE ALOT OF THE CLASSIC EAST COAST FEEL LIKE CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR AND BOHANNON (FUNKY). TELL FRANK I SAID HI AND RESPOND ANYTIME..I AM ALWAYS INTERESTED IN TALKING TO THE (WILDSTYLE) I REMEBER, FRANK ALWAYS WORE THOSE WHITE SHORTS...AND HE LIKED TO DO THOSE BREAK DANCE SPINS...WE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD LAUGH AND LIKED TO CRUISE AROUND AND MEET PEOPLE (RUCAS). DISCO DISCO SABBY TRIVIA ? WHO WAS THE FEMALE SINGER OF DR. BUZZARD'S ORIGINAL SAVANNAH BAND?

FIRST THE TRIVIA ANSWER: IT WAS CORY DAYE WHO ALSO SUNG RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT. AS FAR AS FRANKIE, I JUST GOT OFF THE TELEPHONE WITH HIM. I MENTIONED THAT YOU WERE BACK (POSTING ON THE BOARDS) AND HE WAS PRETTY HAPPY TO HEAR THE NEWS. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THAT EAST COAST SOUND. CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR YOU GAVE ME LOVE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES. I PERSONALLY AM A BIG FAN OF LARRY LEVAN. I LOVE HIS STYLE AND HIS REMIXES. SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LP'S BEING STOLEN. THAT REALLY HURTS. I HAD A CRATE OF MY BEST 12" STOLEN AT ONE TIME. LUCKILY I MANAGED TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I REMEMBER ALL THOSE RECORD STORES YOU MENTIONED, DAMN! I WISH IT WAS THAT EASY TO PURCHASE 12" SINGLES. NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY AN ASTRONOMICAL PRICE FOR SOMETHING RARE , PLUS SHIPPING CHARGES OVER THE NET! HEY I REMEMBER SEVERAL OF YOUR HI-N-RG TRACKS, I HAVE EM ALL. HEY WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU FORMED THE "SYNDICATE SEVEN"?? DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? ANYWAYS, FRANKIE WANTED ME TO PASS A MESSAGE TO YOU. WILLD O SO LATER ON TONITE. HEY IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE SWING BY PDJI.COM (JOE MIDNIGHT DESIRES BOARD) AND CHECK IT OUT. IF YOU EVER WANT TO CATCH FRANKIE, THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU'LL FIND HIM.

Thank God I still have all my vinyl collection from back in the days! Yup, tip-top condition too. Thanks to Henry from Road House Records.
