Looks interesting. I only know his earlier stuff. I'm curious to know how he sounded in the late 1970's.

Major Lance is one of my all time favorites. I especially like " Stay away from me". His daughter Keisha Lance Bottom is the mayor of Georgia and daughter of soul legend Sylvia Robinson. Read how the mayor of Atlanta turned her famous father's arrest into a passion for criminal justice reform.
ELTEL is one of my heroes. I remember mentioning that I had lost my hard drive and he offered to help me rebuild my collection. Good man. Good person. Just like you Music Man.
And how you have arrived. The new blog is a sign that one shouldn't give up. Thanks for review, P.
You can't beat a a bit Major Lance AMM
