I've been listening to NOTHING but Joyce Kennedy singing ballads these days, this being one of 'em

...
Love "Baby Jean"!!

MF was definitely one of the most underrated bands of all time!!







...

the guitar solo (bridge?) remind me of the eagles (hotel california)??

Love them!

Adam Lambert loves Mother's Finest which shocked me...they're pretty obscure!

I've seen them 2 years ago,,,,I cried when Joyce sang "Love Changes" but when she sang "Baby Love", the WHOLE place went wild

Dig this song and album. Also love the Mother Factor album.
Are any of their other albums worth getting into.

Manki turned me on to this song a few years ago.

When's the last time I've listened to some of 'Mother's Finest'? Time to pull them up from the server. Thanks Harle.

I dig Love Changes, both the live and studio version from the Mother Factor LP, which I dig from head to toe.

Can't Fight The Feeling
Tell Me
Watch My Stylin'
Love Changes

Give It Up (bad ass tune)
Mr. Goodbar
I Can't Believe
More And More

Thank You For The Love

I should have been more clear...I think they are obscure among people of Adam's age group. I wish they were more well-known though. None of my friends has even heard of them but I am only 28...

Mother's Finest...'Unsung'.

MidniteMagnet said:

They're obscure among older people as well.

Radio didn't touch them. Black radio stations kept their distance, and the rest kept a longer distance. They touched on that in their song Like A Negro.

A damn shame because when you compare them to their peers now, they're among the few who STILL maintained that 'fire'.

File MF under "wrong complexion, no connection".

When I see them today they still look like a bunch of 25 year olds onstage. Now that's a band that needs a docu made on them plus a box set.

And Moses Mo is still one of the baddest funk-rock guitarists on the planet.

I got their "Black Radio Won't Play This Record" CD, but never played it LOL. Is it any good? Whats it like? Heavy rock?

I always wanted to hear it but never got round to it.
I know they did a new jack cut around 89 that they
had a video for which was fairly decent but it wasn't
Mother's Finest style which is why i think they did
the Black Radio Won't Play This Record album.

Yeah, I pretty much just looked into it on discogs. Looks like Atlanta Zane Giles of all people had a hand on that album. I love some of his stuff from that era. Might be worth a punt on amazon. Cant find anything about that album on youtube though.

I guess I'll hear my CD soon. Should be interesting....

MidniteMagnet said:

Cool, I can get to that.

I was fortunate I guess, to hear certain songs by them ( no deep cuts though) on a local black radio station back in the day, thanks impart to the righteous PD having a pair. We were well aware of them coming up, of course they didn't get heavy or regular radio rotation, but they did get heavy street and home rotation .
