Any STARPOINT fans here ? www.starpointmusic.com Unfortunately this talented band is no longer active anymore . Saddest thing is that first Ernesto Phillips passed away . He was the hubby of lead-singer Renee Diggs , who started to suffer from multiple scleroses in the mid/end 80's . The loss of her hubby struck her hard , but she had an enormous willpower to survive ... May they rest and funk in peace eternally ... we miss U . Catch them here in action http://tinyurl.com/87mam . . . [Edited 11/26/05 9:38am] | |

Ofcourse , alot ... but i don't have them on video right now ( Like " Restless " ) Two albums have FINALLY been released on cd : Producer Lionel Job seemed hard to approach for using the copyright . http://www.vinyl-masterpi...cts_id/402 http://www.vinyl-masterpi...cts_id/401 . . .

Starpoint was ON POINT. I used to love "Keep On It" and "Object Of My Desire". Back when R&B didn't equal slow music. | |

right? Space for sale... | |

"Keep On It" is my favorite. It's their funkiest. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Thank you 100MPH! There was something about Renee Diggs that just did it for me. She's very beautiful, and seemed to have a very sweet personality. I was going to see them at First Avenue, But I came down with a nasty cold and couldn't go. That's too bad about Ernesto. Was he the guitar player in the band? He cracked me up in the "Object Of My Desire" video when he did his guitar solo and started shaking like he got shot with a taser gun. Good Band, They were tough. | |

thanx man and that's too bad you missed that joint @ the 1st Avenue . I forget to tell that in 2004 Renee passed away . Unfortunately her multiple scleroses struck her , despite her enormous willpower . It was hard to live with the absence of her Ernesto . . . . [Edited 11/29/05 8:18am] | |

[Edited 11/29/05 8:18am] I like that group and also that my favorite songs were Object of my desire and Keep on it were my favorite songs. Renee seemed like a beautiful and talented woman. BTW Renee died early this year, March 2005, not last year. I just learned about a couple months ago while I was listening to a UK New Jack Swing radio station on the net. | |

own this but never bothered to play it either. AWRITE ! Magic Lady made 3 great albums . One of the lady's included Linda Stokes , and her husband Michael stokes took the production for most of the albums . This was their last album in 1988 , and has the uplifting opening-track " Betcha Can't Lose With My Love " . A few other firing joints are on this album . Worth to search is their second album from 1982 , with excellent jams like " Red Hot Stuff " and " Get Off " ( not the Prince-song ) . . . [Edited 12/5/05 5:00am] | |
