Background

Jimmy 100% Sterling’s career started as a backup drummer for a variety of local groups around the inner-city and suburbs of Detroit. He even performed with Motown’s Edwin Starr and Jimmy Ruffin at a very young age. This gave Sterling the opportunity to meet his musical idol David Ruffin who greatly influenced his vocal style “I Lived It All” features two Sterling covers of David Ruffin’s (“Heavy Love” and “Statue Of A Fool”).

Jimmy later met the late great General Johnson and for six years recorded and toured with Chairmen Of The Board as a backup drummer/vocalist on the Carolina beach music circuit.

After an offer from CDS Records based on the strength of his signature song, “At Least I Tried” (the 45 was a collector’s item ever since its mid 90’s release on Ameri-Com Records) he parted with Chairmen Of The Board to pursue a career as a solo artist

Can someone tell me the name of that funky instrumental intro being played on DJ Pauly's Soul Vibrations show and who it is? It truly is a foot stomper and sounds so good!

Hi Lorraine.

It is Ronnie Grieco "Ain't Got No Love", an instrumental version of the Barbara Acklin track of the same name.
