I have always loved Ebonee Webb since day one and mention them every chance I get. I can't get enough of them. Andy is a four letter word. | |

vainandy said: "Something About You" sounds a lot like "Head"..... It's on heavy ipod rotation. This is the best Prince rip off song ever made. It's "Head" with a little "Sexy Dancer" and some cheesey lyrics thrown in, They went all out with a total rip and didn't give a crap, I love it!  [Edited 8/8/09 8:30am] | |

holla! Check out the recent Kwick-topic. Together with the Bar-Kays, Chocolate Milk and Ebonee Webb, those 4 groups were all produced around those years by the late Allen A. Jones. Ebonee Webb is the only of those 4 with a high-pitched singer (Chico), sounding like Prince. | |

At the Prince sounding songs  I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

Though a few years later than Ebonee Webb and the other mentioned groups here, the band "QT Hush" had some Mnpls-sounding grooves, produced by Teena Marie. Their album came out around 1985 on Epic (CBS) :

I forgot all about Dreamboy. Their slow jam "Don't Go" sounds a lot like The Time's "Oh Baby". Andy is a four letter word. | |

 I've been reading their name for years on the org, but it was this thread and that thread that really made me stream their songs.
I ended up picking up their 1981 album! It is SO GOOD!
Thanks org!

(excuse the chest, it was like 86 degrees today) Cool. This is the most love i seen Ebonee Webb get around here. Usually Ebonee Webb may get about 3 to 5 responses to a thread. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |
