cheesecakequeen said:

There are some decent cuts on it imo. Have fun listening !

dancerella said:

never heard of this guy before.What was the hit single from his album?

He sounds like a cross between MJ and the Sylvers.

SoulAlive said:

Yeah lol. I think the single was the slowjam "Change The World", which i dig.



This is what Nelson George wrote in Billboard about MCA's sublabel :



And the album-entry noted in Billboard :




The single "Girl, You Are The One" (side A) / "Low Down" (side B) was released on another MCA-sublabel. Wonder if the album is also released on that label besides Larc

Hey thanks for posting all that info! That Nelson George article helped me find a song that I was looking for: "After I Cry Tonight" by Lanier and Co.

Do you know how many years I've been looking for that song,trying to figure out who sings it? Haven't heard it since 1982/83!

Listening to "Change The World" I remember this song!!

SoulAlive said:

You're welcome See if ya can find the album too, with the cool artwork :

Shango said:

I love threads like this discussing forgotten artists!

Shango said:

They recommend a single called "Everybody" by a new singer called Madonna This must be a late 1982 issue,huh?

SoulAlive said:

Yup lol, November 27.

Saw this yesterday on bentley funk. He was mentioned here sometime last year as well. One minor hit single...and that was it! No wonder.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Yeah, i posted that whole stuff in one of the earlier MJ-stickies, so i thought to give it a retry
There's indeed a risk in recording such a project, but nevertheless i dig some tracks and it's a fun-subject to post about

wow i am stunned!! where is this dude now??

by the way, i wonder what joe jackson thought of him? it's funny because there are so many prince rip offs but this is the biggest MJ rip off i've ever seen/heard.

dancerella said:

I have no idea but i actually found a later album of him, from which no scan i have found yet online, and i've seen many scans on the web lol.

dancerella said:

I've heard some other 80's artist giving a nod to MJ :


Cashmere - Let The Music Turn You On (1983) : http://www.imeem.com/peop...rn-you-on/



New Guys On The Block - On The Dancefloor (1983) :

Shango said:

whoa! there was a group called new guys on the block?? that picture is serious lol. how do you know about all of these artists? this is so cool!

dancerella said:

Yeah . Through the years by collecting, i stumbled on releases by them.

Shango said:

LOL.

That cover.....It's just.....wrong.

Shango said:

Now this one REALLY tried to look like MJ. ....

I need to stop letting these covers distract me. I'll try listening to their music tomorrow, lol.

RipHer2Shreds said:

hey!! you know that wonderful site?

you also know fullundie?

i'm not into Alfonzo's music. I heard he did release his album in the Thriller pose before MJ, so we can't blame him for that, but does he try to sound like MJ though?
It sounds forced, and not natural. That's why I dislike it.
