Chris Turnbull Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hardly a week goes by without I come across another outstanding Leroy Burgess track - total genius or what? Here's a couple of recent discoveries, uncredited vocal on this unreleased Chez Damier mix, and superb 70's Sympho State 'You know what I like'.

Some of the stuff reminds me of Frankie Knuckles but that’s probably an entirely different thread. Keep em coming buddy. Pete Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Still Diggin Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 3 hours ago, Chris Turnbull said: Tip of a very large iceberg Pete Yes it is the tip of the iceberg, as he sang lead on most of Black Ivory's hits, and for all the 45 collectors several of the 80's things he was involved with did in fact get released on that format, 'I know you will' 'You got something special' Inner Life's 'No way' (a personal fave) Intrigue's 'Fly girl' the list could go on. A top talent within that field. Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Leroy is the lead on Convertion- "Let's Do It" and the Fantastic Aleems- "Hooked On Your Love". He also does some of the leads on the Peter Jacques Band "Fire Night Dance " album but his vocals are so sped up, it's hard to recognize him.

Duke Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Dino Terrell - you can do it. I seem to remember reading that LB rated Dino very highly and his life was cut short but I maybe imagining all this. 😀 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

At the time, I was in touch with Stuart Bascombe on-line & my son worked in New York back then. I mentioned I was visiting & he asked if I wanted to meet up while there. We arranged to meet at the rail stn in mid Manhattan which was the end of the line for the PATH (from Hoboken). We met up & went for a coffee and he fetched the other 2 Black Ivory members with him. He was keen to try to forge a UK connection as Leroy had gone solo and the other 2 were trying to find a place in the music biz still. Leroy already had a good number of decent UK contacts so was a bit bored with the whole meeting. I interviewed em about their days in Black Ivory & music biz happenings since. All 3 were good but Leroy didn't need any help, so was less interested in the meeting. Edited October 8, 2017 by Roburt Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
